Making A Difference - Locally

Making A Difference – Locally is a new charity that has been launched to help independently-run local stores to add value in their communities through donations to local charities or good causes - such as local football teams or hospices. The scheme is truly local as money will be raised by local stores over time through the sale of specific products in their stores. The store owner then chooses the beneficiary for the money and a donation is paid to the charity or cause by the Making A Difference – Locally Charity.

Local stores are at the heart of communities, ideally placed to provide their customers with a personal and friendly service during their shopping trip. The Making A Difference – Locally charity will help them further cement their position in the community – YOUR community – and reward them for the support they have been given over the years.

From May 2008, over 2,000 stores nationwide, in Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, will participate in Making A Difference – Locally – all of which will display the Making A Difference - Locally logo on the right. If you would like more information on the scheme please ask inside your local participating store.
