TYS Retail donates over £1,500 to mental health charity MIND

TYS Retail donates over £1,500 to mental health charity MIND

Nisa’s Making A Difference Locally (MADL) charity has named TYS Retail, which owns seven Nisa stores across the UK, as Community Champions for February, following the successful fundraising for Time to Talk Day for mental health charity MIND.

TYS Retail raised £727 across the stores which was doubled to £1,554 through the MADL charity fund.


The Peterboroug-based retailer has supported local charities and community groups over the last two years, demonstrating a strong commitment to supporting its local communities.

Leon Swanwick, who works in Nisa Fletton in Peterborough - one of the stores owned by TYS Retail - helped to organise the day’s events in the store, which raised £142 and was doubled to £285.

The store displayed posters and staff spoke with customers to raise awareness and increase the donations received during the day.

When asked what the other stores were doing for Time to Talk Day, Swanwick said: “Our most successful store on the day was the Nisa Local in Stamford, they raised £257 which was doubled by Nisa. They had quite a few activities, including a raffle for a hamper which helped to drive donations.”

Swanwick added that mental health awareness is especially important to him and is a cause he believes needs more recognition and support.

“Members of the Nisa team supported us very well; they provided extra collection buckets for each store and a link to all the posters for MIND which were displayed in all of our stores,” Swanwick said.

Advertorial posters, collection buckets and MADL t-shirts were made available to all participating retailers by Nisa.

Kate Carroll, head of charity at Nisa, said: “Our retailers consistently help us to support important causes and charities. Time for Talk Day really showcased how much retailers do to support their local communities. We know that our retailers are important to their communities, and it is wonderful to see that they continue to work closely with MADL to fundraise for crucial causes. The achievements throughout Time for Talk Day really showcases the hard work of our retailers and the important roles they play in their local communities.”

Carlsberg shifts marketing focus as drinkers choose cheaper beer

Brewer Carlsberg is shifting some of its marketing focus to cheaper brands, it said on Thursday (31), as consumers in major markets bought cheaper beer and in reduced quantities.

The maker of Kronenbourg 1664, Tuborg and Somersby said beer sales volumes fell by 1.3 per cent in the third quarter, noting declines in China, France and the United Kingdom. Premium sales fell 0.5 per cent in the quarter."In Western Europe, there's no doubt that the average consumer is holding back," CEO Jacob Aarup-Andersen told Reuters.

Consumers value ethics though 'sustainability needs to be competitively priced'

Consumers now want a greater commitment from retailers in cutting food waste, refilling stations, sustainable packaging, and partnering with social purpose organisations, states a recent research, which also highlights that a good majority (69 per cent) of younger consumers are more likely to shop with what they see as socially responsible retailers though price sensitivity still plays a crucial role.

According to the findings, published in Vypr’s Consumer Horizon Report, reducing food waste is the most important factor for the majority of UK consumers (29 per cent), especially for Gen Z women aged 18-24 (38 per cent). More than a third (37 per cent) of men aged 18-24 said they needed food storage advice. A similar number of women aged 18-24 (33 per cent) want meal kits with the exact amount of ingredients included for them to cut down on food waste.
