**Nisa retailers have raised £40,000 for local causes through collecting tins on
their shop counters and in the stores.**

The collecting tins generate income from Making a Difference Locally (MADL), the
charity set up by the national chain of local shops. The total was raised from over
850 collecting tins. The money raised is distributed to good causes across the UK
and Ireland.

The Making a Difference Locally collecting tins were first offered to Nisa partners
in April 2017 at Nisa’s Retail Exhibition. They offer another way for retailers 
to provide even more support to their local communities by inspiring and accepting
charitable donations from customers.

Valerie Aston, Nisa partner and director of the Proudfoot Group in Scarborough, 
said of the tins: “We’ve had them in our stores since May, and between them they’ve
already raised over £1,620.

“The tins are great because they help us to support even more local causes. Our 
customers are very much aware of the MADL charity and how we use the funds to donate
to good causes, and so are happy to donate any spare change when making their purchases
at the checkouts.”

 

## £10m and 10,000 donations milestones in 2018

one for Making a Difference Locally and has already seen us achieve milestones of
[£10 million raised](https://fundraising.co.uk/2018/09/05/nisas-madl-celebrates-raising-10m-local-communities/)
and 10,000 donations made to local communities through the charity.

“It’s fantastic that our partners have raised such a significant amount for good
causes in this way, in addition to the support they already give to their communities
through the charity, and we look forward to seeing more great donations being made
locally in the run up to Christmas.”
