Nisa’s MADL has grants for community coronation celebrations, Lloyds Bank Foundation is supporting small charities, SPAR has launched its second Community Cashback scheme, and Volunteero is offering £10k grants.
£100k Nisa giveaway to fund celebrations fit for a King
Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity has launched a fifth round of the Heart of the Community Awards to help communities celebrate and commemorate the coronation of the King and the Queen Consort on Saturday, 6 May.
There will be two funding opportunities to apply for as part of the awards, with 100 donations of up to £500 available for each.
Community celebrations
Nisa retailers can nominate a local group, charity or good cause to receive up to £500 in funding, to help communities celebrate the historic occasion with events such as Big Lunches, afternoon teas and street parties.
Donations could be used towards entertainment, food and drink, venue hire or decorations, or legacy celebration events such as tree planting, buddy benches, memorial gardens or school mementos.
Volunteering projects
Nisa retailers can also put forward a local group or good cause to receive up to £500 in funding to support local volunteers so that volunteering can be undertaken as part of the Big Help Out on 8 May.
Organised by The Together Coalition and a wide range of partners such as The Scouts, the Royal Voluntary Service and faith groups from across the UK, the Palace said it will be in tribute to the King’s public service and will help encourage people to try volunteering for themselves. Funding will be offered to provide any tools or equipment needed to complete local projects.
How to apply
Local groups, charities and good causes should approach their nearest Nisa store to enquire about nominations.
Nominations will be accepted from Nisa retailers via a dedicated website until 14 March and winners will be announced during April.
