Local retailer Nisa has launched a new funding round for its Heart of the Community initiative.

Funded through its Making a Difference Locally Awards Charity, a total of £50,000 is available for Nisa retailers to nominate a local group, school, charity, or good cause.

Up to £500 will be awarded to local causes supporting children with back-to-school uniforms and enriching summer experiences such as holiday clubs, fetes, and community trips.

To apply for a donation, local schools and good causes should visit their nearest Nisa independent retailer to discuss a nomination.
