Community champion Geoff is one of the many Asda colleagues across the country who are proud to support the Poppy Appeal.

He's welcomed volunteers from the Royal British Legion to our Mount Pleasant store in Hull and is joining store manager Jacqueline to lay a wreath from Asda at the nearby Sutton village War Memorial. Geoff has strong family connections to the armed forces – his late dad Stephen served in the RAF, his grandad Arthur was part of a defensive rear-guard while service personnel were evacuated from Dunkirk, and his great-grandfather Thomas received two Distinguished Conduct Medals in the First World War, as well as serving in World War Two.

Geoff said: "I have these stories from my family about the suffering and the sacrifices that these men went through and what they did. Sadly there are fewer and fewer of those men who fought in the last war, so it's important that they are not forgotten, and that the younger generation keeps the tradition alive. The Poppy Appeal is not just about remembrance though but also about the funds to support our veterans whichever conflict or war they've been in. We need to help them in whatever way we can whether it's for physical injuries or mental injuries."

Asda colleagues from stores across the West of Scotland took a dip in the sea to kickstart their fundraising efforts for BBC Children in Need.

The 30-strong group from stores across the region from Kilmarnock and Irvine to Dumbarton, and Falkirk braved the icy waters, with each store challenged to raise at least £1,000 for this year's campaign.

Teresa, community champion at our Kilmarnock store, said: “We had an incredible day for it. The sun was shining in the sky as we dipped into the water at Irvine Beach, and the Isle of Arran looked spectacular in the distance. It was a big team effort, and everyone had a ball - despite the chilly water. The icing on the cake was to have our very own Pudsey there.

Since 2000, Asda has raised more than £42 million for BBC Children in Need – supporting over 400,000 children and young people across the UK. This year the charity is embarking on a new mission: Championing the Mental Health of young people.

The total amount raised this year will be revealed live on air during the BBC Children in Need telethon on Friday November 13th.

We’re proud to be one of 27 Asda stores across the East Midlands displaying a Pledge to Check A3 strut card, encouraging colleagues and customers to make a regular commitment to checking their chests.

We’ve partnered with ITV Lorraine’s Change + Check campaign as part of Asda’s Tickled Pink breast cancer campaign to raise awareness of breast cancer and encourage everyone to check themselves regularly.

According to the Great British Check In survey, commissioned by Asda in August 2026, 36% of people in the East Midlands have never checked their chests.

Together, we want to help spread the message about the importance of checking regularly, knowing what’s normal for your body and being aware of any changes.

So why not make your pledge today?!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Sally, one of our Service colleagues here at Asda Newark, is sharing her personal story to raise awareness and remind us all of the importance of checking our breasts regularly.

In 2013, Sally noticed that one of her ni***es had become inverted. This was her only symptom. She visited her GP to get it checked, then was referred for a mammogram and biopsy, which revealed breast cancer in four different areas of her breast as well as in her chest wall.

Sally was diagnosed with Grade 3 breast cancer and underwent a right-side mastectomy, with all of her lymph nodes removed and no breast reconstruction. Her treatment also included six rounds of chemotherapy and four weeks of radiotherapy.

As a result of having all her lymph nodes removed, Sally now lives with chronic lymphoedema, a lifelong condition that she continues to manage.

Sally said “My advice would be to make sure you check your breasts regularly and know what is normal for you. If you notice anything unusual or you’re unsure about something, get it checked out. Never feel embarrassed or think that you’re wasting anyone’s time - you could save your own life.

If I had ignored my inverted ni**le and left it, I might not be here today.

I also believe it’s important to understand your treatment. Do your research, ask questions and find out as much as you can about the options available to you. Don’t be afraid to speak up or say no if something doesn’t feel right for you.

Finally, try to stay as positive as you can. I know that isn’t always easy, but your mindset can make a real difference in how you cope with everything you’re going through.

Please listen to your body, trust your instincts and get anything unusual checked. Never be embarrassed, never feel silly and never ignore a change. Early action could save your life.”

A huge thank you to Sally for sharing her story to help raise awareness.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, take a moment to check your b***s, pecs or chest, know what is normal for you, and speak to your GP if you notice any unusual changes.

"Being a man and hearing the words 'you've got breast cancer' is a proper, proper shock" – the words of Asda customer Darren, who's a big advocate for our Tickled Pink campaign.

Darren is a regular at our Cannock store's Tickled Pink events raising money and awareness for charity partners Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel!. He's always happy to chat to customers and colleagues about his experience and offer advice to anyone who needs it. He was diagnosed with grade two invasive ductal cancer in June 2023 after his wife Fiona felt a lump in his chest when he was lying down. She is registered blind and has a heightened sense of touch.

Darren said: "It was just a massive shock. I'd heard of men getting breast cancer, but hadn't really taken it in. It's something like 55,000 woman a year in the UK get breast cancer, for men it's less than 400. It is rare, but it does happen. I think in a way I've been really lucky as from finding my lump to my op it was only six weeks. I am one of the very lucky few who haven't had to have chemotherapy or radiotherapy, I'm just on Tamoxifen for five years."

Asda Cannock community champion Sue said: "It's great having Darren at our events, where he's able to give a male perspective on breast cancer. It really brings it home that breast cancer doesn't discriminate, both men and women can get it."
