A mum has thanked Asda colleague Federica for the kindness she showed her when her autistic son was getting overwhelmed while shopping in our Ellesmere Port store.
The customer said her son, who is also non verbal, was struggling a bit and, without his wheelchair for support, she found herself sitting on the floor with him, trying to comfort him while feeling overwhelmed herself. Federica heard the little boy crying and went over to check that he was okay. She then noticed his mum was sitting on the floor too and immediately wanted to make sure she was okay as well. When she got closer, Federica said: "It's ok, I have an autistic child too."
The lady posted on Pride in the Port Facebook group to thank Federica, saying: "I just sat on the floor with my son because in that moment all I can do is offer comfort and you went out your way to check he was okay and reassure me I'm doing a brilliant job! The world needs more people like you. Your kindness didn’t go unnoticed!"
Federica, whose nine-year-old son Gabriele is autistic, said: "I told the lady that I had an autistic boy myself and I know how she felt. I feel so much empathy for mums in general, especially those with children with special needs. The lady's comments on Facebook were lovely, I did not expect them. When I read them I was crying like a baby. It made my day."

Our colleague Charles has been going out of his way to put smiles on the faces of customers at our Shirley store in the West Midlands since the day it opened 12 years ago – with customers telling us that his willingness to help and big beaming smile make him a joy to be around.
Charles was recently presented with an Asda award for his excellent customer service. He said: "I'm a people person and love interacting with customers. I'm usually on kiosk so I'm one of the first people customers see when they come into the store. I like to be happy and friendly, it's just the way I am. I like to make our customers happy If I can. There are a lot of regular customers who come in and always have a good natter with me. It's a very friendly store and what I really like about the job is the diversity – no two days are the same. It's really nice getting an award, but really I'm just doing my job."
Customers have been telling us what a star he is. Shearine said: “I’m a local resident, my terrace house backs onto Asda. I have been frequently shopping at Asda Parkgate coming up to 12 years now and in that time I have had the pleasure to get to know Charles, he is such a lovely person. He is also very helpful and always has a joke or two to brighten up your day. He always has a kind world to say about others." Mark said: “Charles is always a friendly and welcoming face, and makes an effort to say hello to me and my disabled daughter … even when he is clearly busy. His warm approach and high level of customer service goes a long way, helping make shopping a calmer experience. A true standout example of how a small act of kindness goes a long way." Phillip called him "A true master of customer services" and another customer, also called Philip, said: "Charles makes shopping at Asda a happy experience.”
The store's community champion Sally said: "Charles is often on the kiosk and he's generally the first person customers see when they come in see. He's always cheery. Everyone knows him for his kindness, patience, and genuine care – and cheeriness. What makes this even more special is that Charles doesn’t do it for recognition – it’s simply who he is. We are so proud and lucky to have him as part of our Asda Shirley family."

Steph and Lorraine from our Cardiff Bay store did all they could to made sure two Take That fans had the greatest day ahead of the group's Circus concert at the Principality Stadium.
The fans, who are from Bristol, had pre-booked parking slots in the store's car park online and had gone into the store to ask what the best way was to travel to the concert, as well as to see what Welsh products the store had so they could take them home later. Steph said: "We're not too far from the stadium – about a 25-minute walk – and people do park here for concerts and sports events as it's so handy. There's quite a few takeaways and shops on the way to the stadium from here and we are open 24 hours.
"The ladies were big Take That fans and had seen them every time they'd been on tour. They were in a bit of a rush to get to the stadium and but really wanted to take some local produce home with them so Lorraine and I sorted that out for them ready for them to pick up after the concert." The thrilled fans rang the store the next day to praise the pair for their excellent customer service.

When a customer's mobility scooter broke down on a shopping trip to our Lancing supermarket during the recent hot weather 20-year-old Asda colleague Harry stepped in to help – pushing the 70-year-old gentleman home himself.
Harry said: "His scooter just stopped working while he was shopping, so we got him the store scooter while we charged his up. But after about 15 to 20 minutes of charge it still didn't work. I offered to get the gentleman a taxi home, but I don't think he wanted to leave his scooter so I said I'd push him. He didn't live too far away, about a ten-minute walk.
"I pushed and he steered! It wasn't too heavy as luckily he didn't have too many shopping bags with him. It was a hot day though and I was sweating by the time we'd got to his house! He shook my hand when we got there; he was very grateful. With all the doom and gloom in the world it's nice to do something positive for someone."
Store manager Sally has nominated Harry for an Asda service superstar award for his kindness. She said: "Harry is a really great member of the team and always goes above and beyond for customers and colleagues. Nothing is ever too much for him."

I recently reached out to a wonderful local dance group called Konverse Dance Crews to see if there was anything I could do to help.
They are a community dance group that allows young people and adults to express themselves through dance. Every dancer shows so much passion in their dance and are so great to watch. So I was glad when Elvire took me up on my help with water and snacks to make sure everyone had refreshments and something to eat throughout their events.

Faruk from Icss Foodbank asked if I could help with a donation of cooking oils to help them. Cooking oil is always a high demand at their foodbank and with it being half term it is needed more than ever, so I was happy to help.

When a customer in her 80s really wanted a stone-coloured raincoat from George at Asda that she'd seen online Emma from our Asda Living store in Stafford went out of her way to get it for her.
The lady doesn't shop online, so Emma did it on her own personal account for her. She paid for the coat and had it delivered to the store. When it arrived, Emma phoned the lady so she she could come in and collect it, and Emma was reimbursed for her purchase.
Emma said: "I showed the lady some of the coats we had, but she was adamant that she wanted the one she'd seen online. She said she didn't order online so I ordered it for her myself to get the coat into the store. When it arrived we kept it in the back for her and I gave her a call. I don't like to see anyone struggle, especially the older generation who sometimes don't trust using their bank card online. She was over the moon when she picked up the coat."
Store manager Sue, who nominated Emma for an Asda service superstar award, said: "It was absolutely lovely thing to do, outstanding, but that's our Emma! She will do anything to help the customer. She'a little star."

Obi popped by to collect a donation from us to his foodbank Hope Family Trust.
We had a little chat about how things are going in the community and he said sadly there is still a huge need for their service. Even though they joined our foodbank drive not too long ago most of what he collected has now gone, so he was grateful we could help out.

I was pleased to reach out and connect to Thames Community Food Club.
Part of the food club is a lovely lady called Molly, who explained how they help support vulnerable residents facing financial hardship, particularly older people. Their council funding ended three years ago so they are grateful to receive any donations. These gentlemen are volunteers who collected the donation on behalf of Molly.

Asim from Helping Hopes was really grateful for a donation of one of their most essential items needed at the foodbank.
They help to provide our community with as much essential food supplies as possible and as the need for support still grows donations to foodbanks are greatly needed so I was glad I could help.

Fadelah, from the local NHS sexual health services, reached out and asked if there was any way I could help support all their nurses and assistants celebrate International Nurses Day – of course there was.
They requested breakfast items and fresh fruit, and I got that together for her colleague Amanda to collect. I received some of the nicest emails from Fadelah and was told everyone was happy with the food.
