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.

I organised a mini motorbike rally at my dad's care home. One of his last wishes whilst on palliative care is to hear and see a Harley Davidson.

I put a request to local bike groups in Huddersfield with no expectations however the request soon snowballed with a Facebook group being started by a stranger with lots of bikes arriving.

The residents, neighbours and staff had a fantastic time and a huge shout out to Sam Community Colleague at Huddersfield for the donation of water,ice-pops and biscuits for which £100.60 was raised for the residents' fund here at Astley Grange Fartown. Thank you to each and every person who turned up with your amazing machines.

Well done, Paul!

Delivery driver Paul from our Ashington store often delivers to rural areas and really gets to know his customers – so when Angela, a widow in her 80s, hadn't had a delivery for a couple of weeks he went to knock at her door just to say hello and check on her.

Angela didn't answer, so Paul went to speak to a neighbour who informed him that she's now living in a care home about 20 miles away in Alnwick. Knowing Angela has no family in the area, Paul decided to drive to the care home to visit – and he’s been popping in for a chat whenever he's in the area ever since. Other drivers have called in too, as well as the store’s online trading manager Laura and community champion Amanda.

Paul said: "Angela's a lovely lady and as smart as a dart. All the drivers who delivered to her would always have a chat with her, and she knew us all by our first names. When I found out that she was now in a care home I called in to see her, and she had a a little cry on my shoulder. She had done us some little drawings, so I took them back to the store. Whenever I'm delivering in Alnwick I'll call in to see her on my break to see how she is. She really appreciates the chats and company. She's very well thought of and remembered – we're Geordies and always friendly!"

It was great to host Abi and Melanie from Ashington Learning Hive and Newbiggin Learning Hive promoting various free training courses for adults and chat about upcoming events that are family friendly, inclusive and a great way to combat loneliness and isolation.

With free books being handed out this is a great way to start an introduction and conversation about how the Hives support in our community .
