Asda Living Glasgow

Glasgow Fort colleagues Effie, Christine and Tracey stand in front of the school fence they are helping to decorate as part of Ground Force Day. As it wasn't finished we have promised the school we will return to do it.

There were some great things going on around the Glasgow Fort store for local children over the Easter holidays and Community Life colleague Christine was happy to get involved and help when needed. Two of the local groups LPC Youth and Brighter East End had many activities on to keep the kids busy. Christine went along to one of LPC Youth's events to cook and serve some rolls and bacon and sausage. Christine and another colleague, Nicole went along to help at BEE's sponsored skate. Luckily Bee picked a great day for it and the sun shone as the children all went round Drumpellier Country Park.

Asda Living at the Glasgow Fort celebrated its first year working in the Community this week. Local Councillor Maureen Burke joined Store Manager Steven Holgan, Community Life Champion, Christine Keenan and representatives from some of the charities and good causes the store has helped, to celebrate the work the colleagues at Asda Living have been involved in over its first year. The charities and good causes that came along had all taken part in Asda's Chosen By You, Given By Us campaign, which sees customers vote on the 3 charities on the board. Every 2 months the winning charity receives £100 with the 2 runners up receiving £25 each. Some of the charities that came along were, Cogseals, Bee, The Happy Club and Friends of Provan Hall House. There were also representatives from 2 of the local primary schools, Oakwood Primary and St Benedict’s Primary. All of the guests enjoyed some light refreshments as well as seeing the display of stories and pictures showing events that the store has been involved in. These included helping at school sports days, Big Litter Picks, healthy eating projects in school and collecting items for Mary’s Meals. Also on display were the 2 Community awards that the store has won in its first year, "Top Living Store in the North region for National Fundraising" and "Community store of the year for North Living" With seventeen Living Stores in the North region we were very pleased and proud of these awards. Councillor Burke expressed how impressed she was with the work the store had done. Saying "seeing the display makes you realise how much is actually going on in the Community and it is so good to see that Asda are putting back into the Community they serve."
