A Fordingbridge charity has received a £20,000 boost.

The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust, based in Fordingbridge, received the money from Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards.

The trust, which has been running for more than 90 years, conducts conservation science and offers advice on enhancing the biodiversity of the countryside.

Mark Hews, group chief executive at Benefact Group, said: "We would like to thank every single person who took the time to nominate a good cause as part of our Movement for Good Awards. Benefact Group is a family of award-winning specialist financial services companies and the third largest corporate donor to charity in the UK.

"Owned by a charity ourselves, charitable giving is at the heart of what we do. All of our available profits go to good causes and the more the Group grows, the more the Group can give."

Pro Dogs Direct in Aldershot received £1,000, and the Wild Fish Conservation in Andover was awarded £5,000.
