They are also ineligible for the government\u2019s rates rebate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked why the giveaway has launched now, MADL charity assistant Helen Walker said that it was \u201cjust something a little bit different following Covid\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nisa Locals nationwide each nominate a local charity to receive funding as part of the award scheme.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nisa Local Splott has decided to give a further \u00a3100 to each of the top 5 charities voted for. The other four charities are Anna\u2019s Rescue Centre, Oasis, St Albans RFC and Green Squirrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked why she thought they received the top number of votes locally, Ms Makinson said that the club\u2019s Facebook page helped. \u201cWe\u2019ve built a good presence on social media [and people] just shared and shared and shared\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She added the club has received great support, especially from parents, and that any donations to the club would be greatly appreciated and can be made via PayPal, by inserting info@cardiffcentralyouthclub.co.uk as the recipient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A VOTE by local people has resulted in Cardiff Central Youth Club (CCYC) Gymnastics being nominated to receive up to \u00a35000 as part of Nisa&#8217;s Heart of the Community Awards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":551,"featured_media":45242,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,79],"tags":[10,5634],"coauthors":[6732],"class_list":["post-45194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-outabout","category-splott","tag-charity","tag-nisa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
