A supermarket in Highams Park has made a surprise donation to a faith-based charity. 

Under Nisa supermarket's "Making a Difference Locally", the Hale End Road-based store donated £436 to Green Christian yesterday.  

Green Christian, registered in Beech Hall Road, Highams Park, is an educational charity helping to bring people of faith together to work on environmental projects. 

Previous workshops and conferences have placed the spotlight on affordable housing, energy efficiency, green renovations, empty properties, ethical food and low carbon transport solutions. 

Jo Abbess of Green Christian was at the store to collect the cheque. 

She said: "I'm taken aback by the generosity shown by Nisa. 

"Nisa in Highams Park has always impressed me as an enterprise with community values - it shows in the treatment of its staff and customers.

"These funds are going to be very welcome in supporting our projects, and my colleagues are thrilled to hear the news."
