Coop Wholesale Making a Difference Locally

Our Co-op Wholesale arm has a charity, Making a Difference Locally, which is currently accepting nominations from warm spaces (with an annual income of less than £1m) to be awarded up to £2,000 in funding.

While all causes are welcome to apply, preference will be given to those supporting during winter such as:

• Homeless shelters
• Warm hubs
• Seasonal outings like pantomimes for people who might otherwise miss out
• Projects tackling loneliness and isolation

Nominations must be made by convenience stores supplied by Co-op Wholesale, many of which trade as Nisa Local.  To find your closest Co-op Wholesale supplied store, you can do a postcode search here: Find the nearest Nisa Local store near you | Special Promotions, Competitive Prices, and Convenient Opening Hours

In the first instance, we recommend you pop into the store to ask them to nominate you for this funding.  In addition to your contact details, they will need to know:

How you would spend the funding?

How you serve your community?

There is an article about the funding giveaway here: Making a Difference Locally launches twelfth round of Heart of the Community fund | MADL

If you have any questions, or struggle to get in touch with your local store, you can contact the team who will be able to help you: makingadifference@coopwholesale.co.uk
