Ashton has been reunited with her beloved plush dog Violet thanks to the detective skills of security colleague Gordon from our Dundee Kirkton store.

Ashton, who's autistic, has had Violet since she was a baby and uses her to keep her calm and grounded. She lost her one day when she fell out of her bag as she walked to college. A passer-by found the toy and put her on the wall of our car park before taking a photo and posting it on local Facebook group Dundee Lost and Found. But when her family went to pick Violet up she was no longer there. The family scoured the area with torches and even looked in bins but to no avail ... and that's when Gordon got involved, searching through CCTV tapes until he spotted that Violet had been taken down from the wall by one of our cleaning colleagues who'd spotted her but didn't know who she belonged to.

The store's community champion Sam got in touch with the family and Ashton's grandma Myra and mum Shelly were at the store within minutes to collect Violet. Shelly said: "We are so grateful to Gordon; he's a hero. We were all blown away by the kindness of everyone. It just shows the power of community.

"Ashton was absolutely distraught when she'd lost Violet – she got her for her first Christmas. She takes her everywhere with her and helps her to navigate new situations. Ashton struggles to see the world without Violet beside her. She'd just started a life skills course at college and was taking Violet there when she somehow fell out of her bag. She burst into tears when she got Violet back; she was over the moon."

Roasted Camembert & Garlic Crisps spotted at Asda! 🧀

Thank you to everyone who's supporting our Cashpot for Schools initiative which has now raised more than £4 million for primary schools across the UK.

Through the campaign, in partnership with Joe Wicks The Body Coach, we're donating 0.5% of the value of customers’ shopping to a primary school of their choice every time they shop using Asda Rewards. A total of 42 schools already have over £1,000 of funding in their cashpots and over 2,000 have cashpots worth over £500. This cash will go direct to schools for them to spend on whatever they need, so will go on to make a genuine difference.

Community champion Rachel from our Llandudno store has been to Ysgol Bodafon, where teachers, parents and pupils say Cashpot for Schools is making a big difference. Juliet, the school's head of governors, said: "Schools are really feeling the pinch at the moment so we are very appreciative and grateful to Asda for this initiative. It's good to know that Asda and their customers do care about schools like us. It makes us feel valued."

Karly's beaming smile, positive outlook and friendly nature have made her a firm favourite with customers and colleagues alike at our Folkestone store.

Karly has autism and cerebral palsy and says her confidence has soared since she started working at the store 17 years ago. She said: "I always come to work with a smile on my face. I’m happy to see my lovely work colleagues and my regular customers who wait for me to serve them. I'm happy to have a little chat with them and help to pack their bags. I have worked at the Folkestone store since the store opened. I have special needs, but have always had full support from my family and friends. I have conquered a lot of anxieties through their support."

Customer service manager Dawn, who's known Karly for 15 years, said: "Karly is so lovely; she's happy to do anything. She just loves the customers and they like her."
