    Nisa’s charity to support Queen’s Jubilee celebrations in communities

    Nisa said its latest round of Heart of the Community Awards initiative will support communities in celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this year.

    The awards will this time enable Nisa retailers to nominate a local group, charity or good cause to receive up to £1,000 of funding from the Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity, to help communities celebrate the historic occasion with events such as afternoon teas, garden parties and street parties.

    “We received a fantastic response to our two previous rounds of funding, so we’re delighted to be able to bring back the Heart of the Community Awards for a third round of donations,” Kate Carroll, Nisa’s head of charity, said.

    “This special Jubilee edition of the awards will give the opportunity for 70 of our fantastic Nisa retailers to celebrate this exciting and joyous event with the communities they serve, bringing people together to mark the Queen’s historic reign.”

    Nominations will be accepted from Nisa partners via a dedicated website until 18 March and 70 winners, to mark the Queen’s 70-year reign, will be selected to receive funding for their community celebrations.

    Donations could be used towards entertainment, equipment, food and drinks, venue hire or decorations, and each winning good causes will also receive a decorative MADL POS kit with bunting.

    Almost 90 good causes nationwide have benefitted from donations totalling more than £310,000 in previous rounds of the Heart of the Community Awards initiative, cementing it as Making a Difference Locally’s biggest funding giveaway to date.
