Charities in the South West are in with a chance of winning a £1,000 festive donation.
The scheme is part of the Movement for Good Awards, and in the run-up to Christmas, the Benefact Group will donate £1,000 to 20 charities each day for 12 days.
Since 2014, the group has given more than £250m to good causes.
Mark Hews, group chief executive of the Benefact Group, said: "We’re delighted to be launching our 12 Days of Giving campaign again this year, giving away £240,000 in donations to causes nationwide.

"We know how much charities need support, particularly during the festive season, so we’re asking the people of Somerset to take a few minutes to nominate a cause that is particularly close to their hearts.
"We know that £1,000 can have a huge impact on the incredible work that charities do, and we’re looking forward to seeing how this financial boost will change lives for the better."
Last year, Shepton Mallet’s Happy Landings Animal Rescue Centre was among the recipients of the £1,000 draw.
Winners are selected at random, and every charity nominated is in with a chance of receiving the donation.
Draws will take place on weekdays from Tuesday, December 1, to Wednesday, December 16.
