Service users of a Coventry based charity, Valley House, are set to benefit from a trip to the seaside thanks to the generosity of their Local Nisa Store in Courthouse Green.
Making a Difference Locally is a charity that helps local independent stores add value to their local community. Store manager of the Courthouse Green Nisa store, Tarven Singh, said: “We are part of the local community and we wanted to donate to a worthwhile cause in the area. We posted our nominees for the £1,000 award on our Facebook page and we’re delighted that our neighbours at Valley House are the worthy recipients, having received the most votes from our followers.”
