The milestone figure has been raised via more than 1,100 tins in partner stores across the

UK over the last five years, for retailers to donate to a local good cause of their choice

through Nisa’s charity.

Making a Difference Locally collecting tins were launched in April 2017 and allow Nisa partners to accumulate additional money into their MADL fund; in turn enabling them to provide further support to their local communities.

Across all income streams, the charity has raised more than £14m to date, with over 16,000 donations made to UK good causes over the last 14 years.

Kate Carroll, Nisa’s Head of Charity, said: “MADL collecting tins are a simple and effective

way for our retailers to raise additional funds for their communities, which can equate to one or more extra donations over the course of a year or larger donations for the causes they care about.
