As a result we are splitting the Christmas donation equally across all of the nominated charities. The response was amazing! We were extremely moved by all of the entries and humbled by the compassion shown by the SDI member community.Īfter reading all of the incredible stories and looking at the nominated charities, many of which involved a personal connection for the member who submitted it, it was simply not possible to pick one charity over another.
That’s why this Christmas we gave SDI members the opportunity to support these vital organisations by nominating a charity of their choice to receive a share of a £3,000 donation. There are so many local and smaller charities which make a dramatic difference to people’s lives who often don’t get the same recognition and funding compared to larger charities with more money to spend on advertising. This Christmas, and for Local Charities Day 2018, we gave our brilliant members the chance to help a community and cause close to their hearts, by nominating a charity for us to donate to on their behalf.
