Making a Difference Locally

Pupils at The Regis School in Bognor Regis will benefit from new sports kits, thanks to a generous donation of £880 from the Nisa Local on Chichester Road.

The donation will fund updated football, rugby and cricket team shirts for students competing in local, county and national competitions. The new kits will be worn by male and female pupils from Year 7 through to the sixth form, helping them feel smart, special and proud to represent their school.

The donation was made possible through Co-op Wholesale’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity, which raises funds via the sale of Co-op own brand products in Co-op Wholesale partner stores - including Nisa Local Chichester Road. Every time a customer purchases one of these products, a percentage is added to the store’s MADL fund, enabling donations to worthy causes in the local area.

Ragin Patel, owner of Nisa Local in Bognor Regis, which nominated The Regis School for the donation, said: “Supporting our local community is really important to us, and we know how much this donation will mean to the students at The Regis School. We’re delighted to help provide the pupils with smart new kits they can wear with pride in their competitions.”

Kate Carroll, social value lead at Co-op Wholesale, added: “It’s fantastic to see our retailers continuing to make such a positive difference to local communities. Thanks to the generosity of Ragin and his customers, this donation will ensure hundreds of students have the opportunity to take part in sport feeling proud and confident to represent their school.”

Since opening, Nisa Local Chichester Road in Bognor Regis has raised over £3k for local causes and initiatives that make a meaningful impact on the community.
