November was another record month for donations made through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally charity, as Nisa retailers made a total of 243 donations to good causes throughout the UK.
During the month, Nisa members supported almost 200 unique causes including charities, schools, sports clubs and more, totalling a huge £155,841.
Donations included £1,275 from one store to a local hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (pictured).
Kate Carroll, Making a Difference Locally charity manager, commented: “We are thrilled that so many of our retailers are engaging with their local communities through Making a Difference Locally, especially at this time of year when smaller local causes in particular may be in need of a little extra support.
“We are delighted to have supported UK causes with over £150,000 in donations in the last month alone and hope 2017 will see even more donated through the charity to enable our retailers to continue to truly make a difference to their local communities.”
Making a Difference Locally raises funds in independently-owned convenience stores that are members of the Nisa family, through the sale of items from Nisa’s own-label Heritage range and a selection of branded products which carry charitable donations from the suppliers. The charity has been supporting good causes since 2008 and to date has donated over £8m in total.
There are currently over 2,300 stores participating in the Making a Difference Locally initiative. For more information about the charity visit makingadifferencelocally.com.
