We’d like to give a huge thank you to Making A Difference Locally (the Nisa charitable foundation) for their wonderful donation of £4,270 for World Down Syndrome Day.
The donations were made by several West Yorkshire based Nisa retailers, including Manpreet Singh Grewal, Nikul Patel, Amit Patel, Aman Barhgota, Aaron Singh Barhgota, Bhavesh Odedra, and Yathursan Sabaratnam.
Nikul Patel, owner of Nisa Local Gateway Express in Leeds, commented: “Supporting Sunshine and Smiles is incredibly important to us. As a retailer embedded in the community, it’s rewarding to know our contribution will help provide vital support for families in need.”
Kate Carroll, head of charity at Nisa, added: “It’s fantastic to see Nisa retailers coming together to support such an important local cause. Through Making a Difference Locally, retailers can directly benefit the communities they serve, and we’re proud to see these donations making a real impact.”
Every penny donated will go directly towards the vital support we offer to our children, young people and families; whether that’s Speech & Language sessions, transport for families, or paying our trained staff to support families or help our young adults into training and work.
