CHARITY: NISA

Nisa retailers raise a further £100,000 for water initiative

Every bottle of Co-op water sold helps to support clean water projects and changes lives around the world.

Nisa retailers have raised £100,000 in less than four months to support The One Foundation, a charity that helps fund clean water projects around the globe.

The landmark comes less than four months after Nisa retailers reached the £500,000 fundraising milestone, which was donated to the charity in March this year.

The symbol group’s retailers have now raised a total of £626,809 for The One Foundation since becoming part of the Co-op group in 2018. The sum has helped the charity’s global investment in clean water, sanitation and hygiene, and has changed lives for the better in some of the world’s poorest communities.

For every litre of any still, sparkling or flavoured Co-op own-brand water sold, 3p goes to the One Foundation.

Danielle Sylvester, wholesale category controller at Nisa, said: “It is wonderful that by doing something as simple as stocking Co-op water in their stores, our partners can make such a valuable contribution to a brilliant charity.

“And to reach another milestone donation total within just four months of hitting the half a million mark is just fantastic.”

The One Foundation and Co-op have spent 12 years investing in clean water, sanitation, and hygiene projects around the world. They are also pioneering partners for Water Unite, and now, every bottle of Co-op water purchased helps to support clean water projects and changes lives around the world.

To date, Co-op water sales have raised more than £10m for clean water projects and have assisted The One Foundation in many projects, while providing support to programmes in Fairtrade cocoa, sugar, tea and flower growing communities worldwide.
