Nisa: Heart of the Community Awards
Overview
The charity helps the stores achieve this by allowing them to nominate charities or good causes that are local to them to receive a specific donation from them. Donations may be to local sports teams, hospices or one of the many charities operating in the UK.
The communities supported are those which are served by local independently-owned convenience stores that are partners of Nisa, a buying organisation.
The charity helps Nisa stores raise money that can then be donated to local charities and good causes. This is done through the sale of selected products in store, including all Co-op own brand items and those from Nisa’s own-label Heritage range.
Every time an item included in the scheme is purchased, a proportion of the price is added to the store’s MADL fund and this is then donated to good causes in that store’s local area.
