Today we're celebrating Katie and the amazing journey she's shared with us 💗

As a member of the Asda marketing team, Katie has spent the last 18 years helping share the life-saving messages behind Tickled Pink.

When she found a lump during a routine breast check, those same messages helped her recognise a change and get it checked.

After treatment, Katie returned to work earlier this year and continues to use her experience to support and inspire others by sharing her story.

We're so proud to call Katie part of the Asda family. ✨

A huge thank you to all our generous customers, colleagues and volunteers who've been supporting our Tickled Pink breast cancer campaign throughout October.

Colleagues have been putting on their pink T-shirts, wigs and tutus as they tackle fundraising sponsored walks and dips in the chilly sea, dress up in 80s clothes, have fun afternoon teas, have their hair dyed, their heads and beards shaved... and even their legs waxed!

Community champion Michelle, from our Gosforth store, said: "A big thank you to all our customers and colleagues who have supported us. We've had a fun time but also given a serious shout out to check them b***s and pecs. Know your normal. If in doubt get checked out."

Tickled Pink is the partnership between Asda, Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel! and this year we've been celebrating our 30th anniversary! That’s 30 years of reminding more people to check their b***s, pecs or chests and 30 years of helping more people find breast health information and support when they need it. We've raised more than £100 million over the last 30 years for world-class research, life-changing support and vital breast awareness information.

When home shopping driver Dan's van broke down two hours from the Swansea store and couldn't immediately be fixed he continued his deliveries on foot to make sure his customers still got their shopping.

Dan was delivering to the village of Cribyn near Lampeter when the automatic gears failed and the van couldn't move. Knowing it wouldn't be a quick fix, he decided to do everything he could to get customers' shopping to them. He said: "I was quite close to a customer's home so I got the trolley out and filled it with crates and took it to their house. The next one was on the other side of the village – about a 20-to-30-minute walk – so I again packed up the trolley and started walking. It was quite dark by then and there were no street lights on the final stretch so I had to use the torch on my phone. The customer was really grateful, a little bit dumbstruck that I'd walked with his shopping, but grateful. The area is very rural and there aren't many shops, that's why we deliver here. I wanted the customers to get their deliveries."

Store manager Andre, who's nominated Dan for an Asda service superstar award, said: "When I heard what Dan had done I immediately felt proud of his actions and wanted to ensure he got the recognition he deserved. That night he went out of his way and showed real determination to ensure his customers were not let down, delivering some on foot and waiting with his van for recovery which meant he didn't get back to store until the early hours. Dan's actions that evening shows what a great colleague he is and how is always willing to help his fellow colleagues and customers no matter the circumstances."

Community champion Sam from our Dundee Kirkton store is a passionate supporter of our Tickled Pink breast cancer campaign and says awareness of self checking helped to save her life.

Sam was diagnosed with breast cancer after finding a lump during a regular ‘self-check’ in 2022. Following a lumpectomy, she had 16 rounds of chemotherapy followed by 20 sessions of radiotherapy, which came to an end in December 2023 – almost a year after she first found her lump.

She said: "Ever since I started as a community champion in 2014, a role which got me directly involved with the campaign every year, I did the checks like clockwork, once a month in the shower. I thought, ‘You can’t tell other people to check themselves if you’re not doing it yourself.’

She said having her own experience with breast cancer has supported her work with the Tickled Pink campaign, which marks 30 years this month: “With lived knowledge, people know I haven’t just read about this in a book and they tend to listen to what I’m saying. It’s emotional of course, but if I can encourage more people to check themselves regularly, then I’ll take that as a win.”

Sam is now working locally to encourage GP surgeries in Dundee to include information about self-checking as an add-on to regular smear tests, in a campaign she’s calling ‘Swipe and Squeeze’.

Community champion Jo from our Pwllheli supermarket is a passionate supporter of our Tickled Pink breast cancer campaign – raising tens of thousands of pounds for charity partners Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel! over the 20 years since the store opened.

It's a cause very close to Jo's heart. She said: "Tickled Pink means so much to me as I have lost so many of my family and friends to breast cancer, including my mum, grandmother, my sister and my aunt, and I've had a few health scares myself. To me Tickled Pink is all about hope, awareness, kindness, knowledge ... and vital fundraising. It's also about having fun with colleagues and customers and of course wearing lots of pink – tutus, wigs, you name it, we love pink! Whenever I have a Tickled Pink event in our store the conversations that I have with customers about their cancer journey is often very emotional and sad, but hearing people's good news is wonderful, as there really is hope."

Thanks to the generous support of customers and colleagues Asda has raised more than £100 million for charity since Tickled Pink launched in 1996 – and Jo says it's so important that it continues to raise awareness: "Early detection is so important so please to check your chest, pecs and b***s no matter your age, that includes men too! And if you find anything that doesn't feel right, please see your GP."

Community champion Kuia from our Belvedere store has fought breast cancer twice so knows how difficult it can be for people to talk about their own diagnosis and treatment – which is why she's always ready to be a listening ear and a friendly face to chat to.

She's a passionate supporter of our Tickled Pink breast cancer campaign which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. In that time Tickled Pink has raised £100 million to change the outcomes of breast cancer in the UK, working with charity partners Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel!.

Kuia said: "Tickled Pink is amazing and the progress which has been achieved over the past 30 years is remarkable. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer the first time at the age of 28 I was just given a leaflet, and that's it. I didn't know anyone my age who'd had breast cancer and I never knew success stories either. Some people couldn't even say the word cancer, they'd cross the street to avoid me. People even thought it was contagious! Now there's support networks and groups out there and you can contact nurses online. Access to information is a lot easier and there are new remedies and treatments too.

"I'm very open about having had breast cancer. In my job I meet a lot of people who have been diagnosed and are scared. Everybody's journey is different, but it's nice sometimes to see somebody who has got through the other side. I'm very open about what I've been through and I do a lot of awareness stands for Tickled Pink which involve talking to customers and handing out leaflets. Sometimes people just want to talk to someone about their diagnosis and they are in a bit of shock."

Helping a mum who gave birth in the car park of our Ipswich store inspired our colleague Charmaine to train as a midwife – and after three years at university, including placements at Ipswich Hospital and helping with 40 births – she's now fully qualified.

Charmaine said: "I was just going home and walking across the car park with a colleague when we heard what was going on and went over to help. The dad had just taken the baby and put it on mum. We rang the ambulance and got towels for the baby and waited for the ambulance to come. It was just a beautiful moment."

Charmaine has worked at Asda alongside her studies. She's looking for midwife opportunities, but hasn't ruled continuing in a part-time capacity with Asda. She said: "I sometimes see ladies who I've helped deliver their babies out shopping in Asda and they say to me 'hi, what are you doing here?' Working in the hospital and Asda was such a contrast though. I'd be delivering babies one day and then stacking shelves the next. Everyone at the store is very friendly and they've been very accommodating and supportive of me when I've been studying. It's been really lovely. Customers are really nice too and they know all about my studying."

Robert, the store's produce manager, said: “I’m so proud of Charmaine for balancing her work alongside her midwife course. It’s not easy managing both, and the effort she’s put into it deserves recognition. It’s great to see her working towards something she’s passionate about and I wish her all the best in the future."

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.

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!
