Nisa Local Uxbridge Road, operated by convenience chain LA Foods, has donated £1,000 through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity to St. Stephen’s CE Primary School as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting the local community.
The donation was presented during the store’s recent relaunch event, attended by headteacher Michael Schumm and a group of excited pupils from the school.
This latest contribution takes the total amount donated by the store to St. Stephen’s to £5,000.
Store manager Malik Zameer said, “Supporting the community is very important to us. We’re proud to have been able to contribute £1,000 to St. Stephen’s CE Primary School, which will help fund valuable resources and activities for local children.
“We’ve worked closely with the school before, and we’re always keen to continue giving back.
"We’ve also been approached by an Islamic charity in the area, and we’re currently exploring how we can help with that too.”
Last year, LA Foods celebrated reaching the £100,000 donation milestone to local communities, demonstrating its commitment to making a positive impact on local communities.
Nisa retailers, including LA Foods, raise money for charitable causes through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity.
Funds are generated via the sale of Co-op own brand products in store, enabling retailers to provide meaningful support to local causes that matter most to their communities.
Kate Carroll, Head of Charity at Nisa, said, “It’s wonderful to see Nisa partners like LA Foods making such a big difference to their local school. Donations like this are vital in helping schools and community groups thrive.”
Earlier this month, LA Foods reopened Nisa Local Uxbridge Road with a new layout and an extensive refit designed to enhance the shopping experience for the local community.
The new-look store now offers an impressive selection of Co-op own-brand products, providing customers with access to high-quality, great-value groceries, chilled meals, and food-to-go options.
In addition, the refit has introduced a temperature-controlled ‘beer cave’, a first-of-its-kind feature for the area, offering an extensive range of wines and beers.
Another key improvement was removing previous signage that covered the store’s windows, allowing passers-by to see inside.
