Asda

Colin's friends say he’s the spitting image of Max the Gnome from the Asda Christmas advert – so they’ve teamed up to send him lots of his little likeness to cheer him up as he recovers from treatment for blood cancer. He says: “There are a lot of lovely people around.”

Thank you to all our customers and colleagues, whose generous support has helped us raise £3.16 million for this year's @BBCCiN appeal.

Money raised by Asda, will support the Fuelling Potential campaign to help combat holiday hunger.

Home shopping driver Ronan from Asda Enniskillen was out on his rounds when he spotted a regular customer’s dog, Ruá, running loose along a quiet country road a long way from home.

He stopped and, with gentle coaxing, he managed to get red setter Ruá into his van and then made a detour from his route to reunite her with her worried owner, who said she’d been missing for hours.

Ronan, who's worked at the store for four years, said: "When I saw Ruá I knew she was too far from home, and I couldn’t just leave her. It’s all about being a part of the community and looking out for one another, so I was delighted I was there. I’m just glad I was able to help."

Our Cashpot for Schools initiative has so far raised £3 million for primary schools across the UK – and there's still another eight weeks left to further boost the total.

Community champion Diane from Asda Rhyl has been visiting local schools to spread the word, including Ysgol Maes Owen at nearby Kinmel Bay, where headteacher Catrin said: "We think it's such a fantastic idea and everyone at the school is so positive about it. It's really bringing the community together and it's just so easy to do. School budgets have been hit so anything that brings in extra funding is brilliant. We plan to spend the money from Cashpot for Schools on books and learning aids plus anything to support wellbeing in the school."

To help our local schools all you need to do is download Asda Rewards if you don't already have it. Go into Cashpots and opt in to Cashpot for Schools and choose your primary school. Then whenever you are shopping in store scan your rewards app and, if you shop online, make sure Your Rewards is linked. For each shop you do between now and 30th November we will donate 0.5% of your total shop. Find out more here: bit.ly/3Zy1pDg

A massive thank you to all our customers, colleagues and volunteers who are supporting our Tickled Pink breast cancer charity campaign which raises money and awareness for @BreastCancerNow and @CoppaFeel
Colleagues are taking part in a wide range of activities, including shaving their heads, waxing their legs, dressing up in wigs and tutus, sponsored silences, dying their hair pink, and joining in with cycling, running and walking challenges.
Community champion Gemma, from our Harlow store, said: "Colleagues are 100% backing the importance of checking yourself. The store is awash with pink and it's great to see the amount of products supporting our Tickled Pink crusade too."
