**Nisa retailers have raised £60,000 for local causes through Making a Difference
Locally charity collecting tins sited in their stores.**

The milestone amount was achieved from funds raised via more than 920 tins nationwide,
for retailers to donate to a local good cause of their choice through Nisa’s charity.

The Making a Difference Locally collecting tins were launched for Nisa partners 
in 2017 and allow retailers to accumulate additional money into their MADL fund,
and as a result provide even more support to their local communities through charitable
donations.

The £60,000 figure is the total raised in the two years since the tins were launched.

 S&K Coventry’s Nisa Local in Nuneaton has two tins sited on their till points 
and have raised over £760 with them to date.

Store owner Suk Kalm said:

> “If you want to have a charity collecting tin in store, then for a Nisa retailer,
> a MADL one is the obvious choice.
> “Placing a [Making a Difference Locally](http://www.makingadifferencelocally.com/)
> tin at the till gives customers a way to donate small change, boosting our funds
> to donate locally and showcasing MADL to customers. Over the course of a year 
> it can allow you to make one or two additional donations.”

Kate Carroll, Nisa’s Head of Charity, added:

> “The collecting tins have been a great and easy way for our retailers to raise
> additional funds for local good causes, providing them with further opportunities
> to engage with their local community.
> “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 through the MADL charity.”

## Own-label product fundraising

Making a Difference Locally also raises funds in Nisa partner stores from sales 
of all Heritage own-label and Co-op own-brand products, a percentage of which goes
into a virtual fund for retailers to donate. Stores are then able to donate money
raised to a local charity or good cause of their choice within a 10-mile radius,
ensuring the funds raised benefit their local community.

Making a Difference Locally has supported over 11,000 charities and other good causes
since 2008, raising over £8.7m to date.

There are currently [over 2,300 stores participating](http://www.nisalocally.co.uk/community/make-a-difference-locally)
in the Making a Difference Locally initiative.
