NISA donates £1m to good causes in 2016

Melanie May | 27 October 2016 | News

After a second consecutive record month of donations, Nisa’s charity, Making a Difference Locally, has now donated over £1 million to good causes so far this year. 
Over the last 10 months, a total of 1,355 donations have been made to 964 causes throughout the UK. The millionth pound was donated by the Nisa Local on Moston Street in Birches Head, Stoke-on-Trent, to support St. Matthew’s Church with its World War One community window project (pictured). The Nisa Local donated £1,260 through Making a Difference Locally to the church to aid completion of the window, and the donation will also enable the church to hold free commemorative events for the local community over the next two years.
Other donations recently made through the charity included a £500 donation from Filco Supermarkets to YMCA Barry’s Major Music project, £500 to Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice from the Nisa Local on Longford Road, Longford in Coventry, and a donation of £500 from the Nisa Local on Arnold Road, Basford to Nottingham Hospitals Charity.
Kate Carroll, Making a Difference Locally charity manager, said:

“We are delighted to have supported almost 1,000 good causes over the last 10 months alone. It is incredibly rewarding to see so many Nisa members engaging with their communities through Making a Difference Locally and we expect to see many more retailers supporting local causes over the festive period.”

Over 2,300 stores currently participate in Making a Difference Locally.
