TYS Retail, a Nisa retailer for almost a decade with eight stores under its belt, has engaged in numerous fundraising efforts for the benefit of its local community. Recently, the retailer extended support to three local primary schools, a charitable soup kitchen, and a homeless charity.
TYS Retail has been designated the community champion by Nisa for February 2023 in recognition of the retailer’s successful fund-raising campaign that raked in a total of £727. The amount was furthered doubled to £1,554 via the Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity fund.
Through in-store posters and team-member interaction, the awareness of the Time to Talk Day for MIND fundraising campaign was raised, receiving throughout the day an abundance of donations from customers. The demonstrated commitment of TYS Retail to its surrounding community is undoubtedly remarkable, considering the numerous charitable efforts it has supported over the last two years.
Making a Difference Locally (MADL), a charity established to enable independent stores to contribute to their local communities, has aligned with Nisa and the independently owned convenience stores to provide specific donations that are given to nominated charities and good causes. Participating in the scheme, store owners raise funds that are primarily donated to charitable organizations and causes within their community.
Kate Carroll, the head of charity at Nisa, testified of TYS Retail’s dedication, “TYS Retail are a brilliant example of a Nisa retailer going above and beyond in their community. To reach over £35,000 in donations to so many different charities with varied causes is fantastic and demonstrates how successful the partnership between Nisa and retailers can be.”
In conclusion, TYS Retail’s unwavering support and relentless efforts to assist their community’s welfare are commendable. Its raised funds and donations have provided necessary aid to various charities and causes, while also setting an exemplary standard for businesses to give back to the community.
