Talking Retail Grocery and product news for independent retailers
The Walton Lea Partnership in Warrington, which helps those with disabilities, was the good cause nominated for a Heart of the Community Award by Nisa retailer Mike Sohal, whose Nisa Local Dallam Stores is a few miles from the charity’s base.
The money came from Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity and was used to pay for a selection of tools and equipment that will improve everyday activities offered by Walton Lea.
Sohal said: “What the people at the Walton Lea Project do is incredible and you can see how important it is to everyone involved.
“It was really simple to apply for a Heart of the Community award through MADL and being able to hand over the donation knowing it will make such an impact locally is part and parcel of what being a local, independent retailer is all about.”
Nisa’s head of charity, Kate Carroll, added: “Having seen first-hand the work this wonderful charity does, I know this Heart of the Community award will make such a huge difference to so many people.
“This sort of project is exactly what we had in mind when we launched the initiative and it really is fantastic to see what a difference our Nisa partners can make to their communities by getting involved and supporting such brilliant local causes.”
