Nisa Local Longsand Parade in St Neots, a convenience store owned and operated by TYS Retail LTD, has donated £800 to St Neots Rugby Club through Nisa's Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity.

The donation will be used to purchase new rugby kits for the club's youth teams.

St Neots Rugby Club is a community-based club that has been in existence for over 100 years. The club offers rugby platforms for players of all ages and abilities.

Nisa Local supported St Neots Rugby Club in 2023 with a £800 donation to help expand its youth development programs

“TYS Retail is proud to support St Neots Rugby Club once again,” said area manager Leon Swanwick. “The club plays a valuable role in giving young people in our community the chance to engage in rugby, and we hope our contribution will help it continue to thrive and expand.”

Phil Yates, president of St Neots Rugby Club, said: “We’re extremely thankful to Nisa Local for their generous donation. The funds will go towards purchasing new kits for our youth teams, replacing the old, worn kits that no longer reflect the quality of rugby we aim to deliver. The new kits will not only instil pride in our players but also help attract new talent to the club.”

“With this support, we’re thrilled to enhance our youth development programs,” Yates continued. “We believe rugby is an excellent sport for young people, and we want to make it accessible to everyone who wants to participate.”

Nisa Local St Neot’s is a convenience store located near Peterborough and has been a Nisa retailer for over five years. The store offers a wide variety of groceries, household items, and other convenience products.

The store has so far donated over £7,000 into the community through MADL. Alongside St Neots Rugby Club, they have also supported St Neots Festival, local school & PTA groups, Eaton Socon Women’s Football Team, St Neots Youth Council, St Neots Man Cave, The Kite Trust and St Neots Sentinels.

TYS Retail Ltd has donated over £70,000 through MADL till date.

Budget’s raid on businesses will drive food inflation, says Boparan

Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ budget has served up an unexpected "double whammy" bombshell for businesses that risks driving food inflation further, delivering a potential “final fatal blow” for the beleaguered farming sector in the UK, leading food entrepreneur Ranjit Singh Boparan said on Tuesday (12).

Boparan relies on a network of hundreds of independent, family-owned farms for the supply of poultry into the UK retail and food service sector and the Budget’s inheritance tax raid on farms over £1m risk that supply being severely compromised. Under plans announced in the Budget, inheritance tax will be charged at 20 per cent on farms worth more than £1m.

Food Foundation report condemns UK diet

The Food Foundation’s annual State of the Nation’s Food Industry report, published today, has found that:

  • Just 5 companies (Haribo, Mars, Mondelez, PepsiCo, Kellog’s) are responsible for over 80 per cent of TV ads for snacks and confectionary aired before the watershed, despite all of them claiming not to advertise to children
  • Almost a third (30 per cent) of major UK restaurant chains serve main meals where over half of the options are concerningly high in salt
  • Almost one in five supermarket multibuy offers are on meat and dairy products, with half of these offers on processed meat (10.6 per cent of all offers) despite the known health risks of consuming too much processed meat
  • Only one in four major UK food businesses has a healthy sales target and discloses data on the healthiness of their sales
  • Restaurant chains and fast-food outlets are the least transparent sector by some way, having made no progress since last year in disclosing healthy sales data or setting targets to improve the healthiness of menus
  • Global food giants Mondelez, Mars and Coca-Cola still have no clear explicit board-level accountability for nutrition
  • Food industry representatives and their trade associations met with Defra ministers a total of 1,377 times between 2020 and 2023. This is over 40 times more meetings than those held between food NGOs and Defra ministers

The report, published annually by The Food Foundation, analyses data across an array of sources to build up a revealing picture of the UK’s food system. The findings show that currently the food environment, from the food being advertised to us, to the food that dominates menus when we eat out, to the price promotions being offered to us in supermarkets, is relentlessly pushing consumers to make unhealthy choices.

Ben & Jerry's says parent Unilever silenced it over Gaza stance

Ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's said in a lawsuit filed Wednesday that parent company Unilever has silenced its attempts to express support for Palestinian refugees, and threatened to dismantle its board and sue its members over the issue.

The lawsuit is the latest sign of the long-simmering tensions between Ben & Jerry's and consumer products maker Unilever. A rift erupted between the two in 2021 after Ben & Jerry's said it would stop selling its products in the Israeli-occupied West Bank because it was inconsistent with its values, a move that led some investors to divest Unilever shares.
