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.

We had the pleasure of welcoming the Year 3 class from Our Lady of the Rosary School into the bakery!

The children had lots of fun getting creative and made some delicious-looking muffins and cookies, using a variety of tasty toppings. They were busy baking and decorating in preparation for their Macmillan Coffee Morning, where they will be selling their delicious creations to raise money for a very important cause.

We also chatted about the importance of helping people in our community and how, through simple acts such as baking and fundraising, we can all make a difference.

A huge well done to all the little bakers. We had such a lovely time and hope you did too.

You’ve always been there to lend a hand, look out for others and make sure everyone is okay.Your friendly face, big heart and willingness to help will certainly be missed around Asda. You’ve been a valued part of the team, and you’re leaving behind plenty of great memories.So, Grumpy, enjoy your well-earned retirement! Put your feet up, take things at your own pace, and enjoy every minute of your next adventure.Congratulations, and thank you for everything. You’ll be missed — but hopefully not too grumpily!

Well done, Nichola!

We received some wonderful feedback from one of our customers about our amazing colleague Nichola who has been part of our team on checkouts for 23 years.

They took to the Peterlee Have Your Say group on Facebook to track Nichola down and personally thank her for the kindness and empathy she showed while helping with her autistic daughter who was getting a bit overwhelmed. The customer wrote: "I was in tears (which never happens) and an Asda colleague came over to help me to get my daughter to the car. The colleague kept saying it’s okay I understand' and made sure I was okay. I would just like to see if I can track her down to again say thank you."

Asda Peterlee community champion Angela said: "It’s a great reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a huge difference. Well done, Nichola — we’re so proud of you!"

Well done Edd and Tony!

Everyone at our Peterlee store loves checkouts colleague Edd and porter Tony who've been getting some brilliant feedback for their friendly manner.

One regular customer recently got in touch with the store to let us know how Edd completely turned her day around through his friendly conversation about spicy food. She said: "I found myself smiling again just from that simple chat. He’s genuinely one of the loveliest people you could meet." She also thanked Tony for helping her when her son wasn't feeling well, saying: "Honestly, this lad has a heart of gold. Always smiling, always saying hello, always asking how you are. Me and Tony have been friends ever since, all because of that simple act of kindness."

The store's community champion Angela said: "Thank you both for everything you do. It’s colleagues like you who make such a difference every single day."

It was one of those days that truly meant everything to me.I got to bring together two of the most important parts of my life – being a mam and being a community champion.

For those who don’t know, my son (now 10!) was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes during the COVID lockdown in 2020, when he was just 4 years old. Since then, we’ve ridden the rollercoaster of highs and lows – quite literally – and learned so much along the way.

What really stood out over the years is this: so many people have heard of diabetes, but not many truly understand what living with it looks like day to day. In those early days, before insulin pumps, when we had to inject insulin manually, we faced stares… and sometimes even negative comments. All because people didn’t understand why a child needed an injection before eating.

That’s why today meant so much.

I had the opportunity to work alongside MTV, Kyle Christie from Geordie Shore – who also lives with Type 1 diabetes –to help educate school children. We spoke about what diabetes is, how to spot the signs of high and low blood sugar, and what to do in an emergency. We also shared early symptoms to look out for, in the hope that one day, that knowledge could help someone get diagnosed sooner and avoid becoming seriously unwell.

It was such a special experience being able to turn our journey into something positive– helping others understand, raising awareness, and empowering the next generation

If today taught me anything, it’s that awareness truly matters… and education can make all the difference.

With Valentine's Day fast approaching we're celebrating couple colleagues such as Linda and Ray and Sophie and Nathan from our Peterlee store.

Linda and Ray tied the knot on Boxing Day 44 years ago after meeting at a friend’s birthday party two years earlier.Linda has been one of our checkout stars for an amazing 23 years, while Ray has been keeping things running smoothly as a porter for the past three years.

Community champion Angela said: "The really cute thing about them is their nicknames – Ray is “Grumpy” — so of course that makes Linda Snow White. We absolutely love this fairytale couple."

Sophie and Nathan got together in July last year. Sophie works in our Rotisserie department, and Nathan can be found in the bakery Sophie says Nathan’s best quality is that he always makes her laugh, and Nathan says Sophie’s best quality is that she’s always happy.

Angela said: "They are just the sweetest couple, we love a workplace romance with laughs and smiles. Our favourite moment was when Nathan tried to surprise Sophie with a huge stuffed Highland cow… and walked straight into her with it just after he bought it!"Happy Valentine's Day to them all!
