ALMOST three quarters of Hampshire residents intend to donate to a charity close to home this Christmas, a new study has revealed.
Data released from Ecclesiastical Insurance’s 12 Days of Giving campaign shows 4,669 people in the county have so far nominated a local cause to receive a £1,000 donation.
A total of 70 per cent of people said they will donate to a charity this Christmas because of the current climate, and a total of 84 per cent believe it’s more important than ever to support the work of local charities.
The 12 Days of Giving will see 120 different charities receive an early Christmas gift of a £1,000 donation.
Members of the public are being asked to nominate a charity close to their hearts to receive a festive financial boost with nearly 140,000 people suggesting 3,927 good causes already, in the last two weeks alone.
Nominations are open until December 21 and you can vote for your favourite charity at www.movementforgood.com/12days.
