Nisa Local Endymion Street donates £1,000 to City of Hull Street Angels

A Hull-based initiative dedicated to keeping the city’s streets safe during weekend nights has received a significant boost, thanks to a £1,000 donation from Nisa Local on Endymion Street.

The funding, awarded through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) A Moment in Time initiative, will help the City of Hull Street Angels recruit and train new volunteers, ensuring they can continue their work.

The donation was made possible by store owner Mindy Dhaliwal, who nominated the cause and has now donated over £7,500 to local community initiatives, reinforcing his commitment to making a difference in Hull.

City of Hull Street Angels operates every Friday and Saturday night from 9pm to 3am with a team of over 15 dedicated volunteers. Their work involves providing low-level medical assistance, preventing unnecessary A&E visits and reducing strain on emergency services.

This donation will help the charity recruit and train up to 20 new volunteers, ensuring their essential work can continue despite the loss of some current volunteers to careers in the police, ambulance service, and social care.

Mindy Dhaliwal, owner of Nisa Local Endymion Street, said: “This is an incredible organisation that provides essential support to our community, keeping people safe and reducing the burden on our local NHS services. It’s an honour to support their work through Nisa’s MADL fund, and I hope this donation helps them recruit and train the volunteers they need to continue their vital efforts.”
