**Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally charity has boosted its income by over £500,000
during the last financial year.**

The charity’s income as of June 2019 – the end of [MADL’s](https://www.makingadifferencelocally.com/MADL)
financial year – rose to £1.35m for the year, a £515,000 increase on the previous
12 months.

The uplift was in part due to the introduction of a new funding model for the charity,
which took effect from 7 January 2019. The model means that all Co-op own brand 
products sold in Nisa retailers’ stores now carry a donation of 0.6 per cent to 
MADL, in the same way that Nisa’s Heritage own label products do.

With the vast majority of Nisa retailers stocking Co-op own brand, and those products
now accounting for more than 9% of total sales through Nisa, the new funding model
has helped to drive additional income for Making a Difference Locally and in turn
allow Nisa retailers to accrue funds to donate quicker.

More than £32,000 was also raised via 920+ MADL collecting tins sited in Nisa stores
nationwide during the reporting period.

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

>  “The new funding model has made a significant difference to the charity’s income
> and has contributed to a 61% increase on the previous year, which really is fantastic.“
> The increased income allows Nisa retailers to support good causes that matter 
> to them with additional funding and enables even more great work to take place
> within their local communities.”
