But, the Trust had no idea that several months later it would be in a position to award grants to 141 charities totalling well over half a million pounds.
An incredible £548,995 was donated over the course of the 5 days the programme aired. This was further boosted by those who donated under Gift Aid, resulting in a total of £607,317 to donate to worthy causes.
As you can imagine, the awarding committee had a hard job deciding. They felt that, in the spirit of the programme, it was best to spread the funds available widely to help as many charities as possible.
As a consequence, we are delighted to announce that the entire £607,317 will be distributed to a total of 141 charities. No grant was larger than £8,250 and 10% of the charities received the full amount they had asked for.
