Aviemore Tesco - Colleagues & Community

03/10/2026

Just to let you know, I will be leaving Tesco Aviemore this week.
It's been an absolute privilege to have been trusted with the role of community champion and to have met some of the schools, groups and charities in the area.
What an eyeopener. I wished I could have done so much more for so many.

I am sure once management have decided who will takeover, you will get to know your next community champion.

In the mean time don't forget the blue tokens, both to vote and apply!
The permanent foodshare collection point.
To bob Tesco a letter if you need a donation for a fundraiser or group.

All the best to you all!

October is breast cancer awareness month.

Yes I have a bee in my bonnet about this one.

10 years ago I was complacent, I did'nt think it would happen to me... here's the but.. It did.

Hearing the words you have a battle a head.
My first thoughts were my 8 year old and 12 year old at home. Would I get to see them grow up? Would I be there for them?

I had accidentally stumbled across a lump, never thinking to check myself once a month.
Had I caught it sooner (it was stage 3)
I would have had less aggressive treatment.

As it was a mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, herceptin and tamoxifen followed. I was hammered. Lucky enough to live and see my kids grow into the adults they are (and so proud of them).

Please never be that busy not to check yourself once a month.
The sooner any cancer is detected the better.

And this doesnt just go out to you girls out there, breast cancer is not gender specific so boys also do yourself a favour, check yourselves every now and then and don't be frightened, if in doubt see a professional.
There's a lot of kindness in the nhs and maggies are such an incredible charity.

I met with Jeni today, she is a very proactive lady, who wants to do much more to support neurodivergent adults and families within the badenoch and strathspey area.
Having experienced this first hand in my own family, I can say hand on heart there needs to be more.
Families can stand on the rooftops for support and get absolutely no where.
If your struggling with a new diagnosis, a what if? A child who is having difficulty attending school because they are over whelmed, come along to this.
Sometimes the best people to talk to are the ones who have walked in your shoes, the isolation you maybe feeling will disappear knowing your not alone.
