Asda

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.

Well done Liz!

When Asda customer Irene was getting a bit overwhelmed while out shopping in our Newtownards store our colleague Liz offered her a shoulder to cry on – and a much-needed listening ear.

Irene has lived with Crohn’s Disease and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia for several years, and recently started suffering with ataxia, a rare neurological condition that can affect speech, balance and co-ordination. She said: "That day, I was very low. I was inside the shopping centre on my way to Asda when I got a bit overwhelmed with everything going on. Luckily for me, as soon as Liz saw me on her way into work, she knew I wasn’t good. She listened as I talked everything through and waited with me until I calmed down. It meant the world to me.”

Liz, who's worked in Asda for 16 years, said: “Irene is a lovely lady, and when I realised that day how upset she was, I just sat with her and let her talk it out. She was feeling overwhelmed with such a lot going on, and it’s always important in those situations to have someone to talk to. I’m so glad I was able to do that for her when she needed it."

Congratulations to The Net Youth Project who've received an Asda Foundation Spaces and Places grant for £10,000.

Some of our community champions from across Northern Ireland, including Elaine from Asda Portadown, joined Asda Newtownards store manager Niall to take a look at the project themselves. The donation will be used to develop the house next door downstairs so that it opens outside onto the amazing garden where the kids grow vegetables and maintain flower beds. Elaine said: "It will be great to call back when this project is finalised to see the new house."

This year the Asda Foundation are going to be awarding £300 to six local charities at Christmas to celebrate and thank them for their work this year.

Customers are invited to nominate their local charity, good cause or a non for profit group that you believe has gone above and beyond to help make sure no one has been on their own during the pandemic. Forms can be found online at www.asdafoundation.org or paper copies can be lifted at the community board, and return to the customer service desk. Nominations are open until Wednesday 30th September.– Rachel, Asda community champion

We've extended our dedicated shopping hour for frontline healthcare staff to include the 38,000 care workers from across Northern Ireland alongside NHS staff.

People working in their own homes, residential care, nursing homes and charitable organisations can take part in the dedicated hour in our stores across Northern Ireland from 8am-9am every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with a browsing hour each Sunday from 12pm-1pm using the new updated digital certificate of registration as proof of Health & Social Care (HSC) identification. Asda Antrim store manager Robert Ryans said: "We are proud to lend our support to the frontline workers in the health sector who face tough challenges at this difficult time. We want to make it clear that this support is extended to our social care workers and hope that their inclusion in our dedicated shopping and browsing hour will be of real benefit as they balance the demands of managing home and working life.” Patricia Higgins, chief executive of the Social Care Council, said: “We commend Asda’s approach in recognising social care workers as frontline staff and thank all their colleagues too, for their selfless acts in helping keep the stores opened and stocked.”

One of our lovely customers brought in some flowers for our colleague Joan as a thank you for still being here doing her job and being nice in these difficult times. Well done Joan.

Congratulations to Cancer Fund for Children who were our runners-up in our most recent Green Tokens Giving vote. I was delighted to present them with a £500 cheque in store.

Cancer Fund for Children do great work in helping young people who are affected by cancer. They can offer support in homes, on hospital wards and at their residential centre, so that no family has to face cancer alone.
