Angela from our Charlton store is backing England to go all the way in the football this summer .... but she'll be rooting for her nephew Antoine Semenyo when he takes to the pitch tonight for Ghana against Harry Kane and co.

Angela said: "We are all so proud of Antoine, he's a brilliant footballer. We all support him and have always encouraged him. He could have played for England, but Ghana called on him first! I think Ghana will win tonight – 1-0, hopefully with Antoine scoring. Although I hope Ghana win tonight I do think England will go on and win the tournament. But, you know, it's just a game, it's a bit of fun and we are having a lot of fun in store with the football."

Asda Charlton's community champion Karlee said: "It's always fun in store when we have a football tournament on the go. Everyone is allowed to wear their chosen country's football tops. We have such a variety of colleagues from different nationalities supporting their teams. It's great to see everyone back their home teams and wear their tops with pride, but I'll be shouting 'Come on England!'"

Happy Father's Day to dads everywhere – including Ranu, Dave, George, Kevin and Chris who all work alongside their sons and daughters at our Rawtenstall store.

Ranu, who works with his son Sam, said: "It’s really good working alongside Sam. Customers know that we are related and we look alike, except that I've got a grey beard! It's so nice when customers say how kind and helpful he is, as that make me feel proud." Andy, who first worked for Asda in 1979, works with his son George, who's working part time while studying. He said: "A lot of the colleagues and customers know we are related and some of the colleagues here even remember him being born!"

Chris and his son Ethan both work on produce. Chris said: “Working with Ethan for the last seven years has been one of the best parts of my Asda career. We have made some nice memories and friends together and had lots of laughs along the way." Home shopping driver Dave works with his daughter Keira. He said: "I always pop up to see her before I go home on a Sunday. This Father’s Day will be no different, we will both be working but it will be lovely to see her through the day so I don’t have to wait until we've both finished." And security colleague Kevin works with his daughter Katie, who said: "It's very comforting as I know my dad's there whenever I need him, and to lighten up my day with his jokes!"

We hope they all have a wonderful day.

When Carrie from our Pudsey store spotted an elderly customer getting upset and looking confused at the checkouts she immediately stepped in to help.

The lady, who's in her 80s, couldn't find her purse, couldn’t remember who she had come with, where she lived, and had no ID or phone with her. Carrie decided to pay for her shopping while trying to work out how best to help her. After talking to her for a while and trying in vain to find out her address, Carrie was about to raise the alarm when the lady's son came rushing in – he'd been frantically searching for her in nearby shops. He was extremely grateful and reimbursed Carrie for the shopping.

Carrie said: "I just wanted to help her as I just care about everybody. She was a lovely lady, bless her, very happy and smiley." Store manager Gary said: "This is a fantastic example of putting our customers first and living our values every day. The lady's son was deeply appreciative of the care and support Carrie had shown. She's a real credit to the team."

Hi my name is Debs and I have worked at Asda Dagenham for 24 years.

I have recently become community champion and I’m ready and up for the challenge, although still learning.

I’m married, 2 children, 1 grandchild, dog, cat and 2 grand bunnies. Love my garden, praying and planting and my favourite colour is hot pink.

We're always happy to help.

Colleagues at our Dagenham store have been rallying round to help the families who've lost their homes and possessions in the devastating fires during the heatwave.

The store's community champion Gemma came in on her day off to arrange £5,000 emergency funding from the Asda Foundation which bought food, bedding and clothes to residents of Ballards Road in Dagenham and in nearby Wennington whose properties were destroyed by out-of-control field fires. The store also donated water to firefighters tackling the blazes. Gemma said: "It's been absolutely heartbreaking – you just can't comprehend how this sort of thing can happen in your community, on your doorstep. It's just unthinkable. I'm just so glad that I was able to do something to help." Read more here: https://bit.ly/3b1X04C

I’ve been Asda Dagenham’s community champion for over six years now – and I can’t see myself ever wanting to leave the role!

I really enjoy every aspect of the job, especially going out and meeting new people in my local community who are doing lots of wonderful things, and together we really help make a difference. Some days it may be 100 people we help through a project and then the next it may be a small group of six children who I help read to. The variety of the job keeps it really interesting, as well as meaning that I learn about different topics and charities I normally wouldn't hear about. Every week I have the ability to go out and do something different and go home with a happy fulfilled heart by completing my job!

In line with International Women’s Day I donated sanitary items to Elevate Her UK, a local charity supporting teenage girls and young women.

These products will help fight period poverty in our local community. Ebony from Elevate Her, said: "Thank you very much we really appreciate your kind gesture and I’m sure the girls and young women we support will be highly grateful."

Thank you and good luck to our popular colleague Raine from our Dagenham store who's retired after an amazing 33 years of service with Asda.

Raine started out on the shop floor at our Isle of Dogs store before moving to Dagenham 24 years ago. Amy, the store's production manager, said Raine would be sorely missed: "Raine leaving is going to be a great loss to the team. She always works with a smile on her face and makes the store such a great place to work. We can't thank her enough for her 33 years – that really is dedication. We wish her all the sunshine in the world and hope she has a relaxing time at her caravan retreat!" Store manager Gary added: "Thank you Raine for your 33 years supporting Asda. You will be greatly missed. Please come back and visit us."

Our community champion Gemma has been donating food on behalf of our store to local schools and groups providing lunch for children this half term.

The first donation went to Make Your Mark Make Your Mark, a local Community Interest Company who are delivering lunch packs to children. Bobbie-Jo from the organisation said: "Your help enabled us to go on to provide 198 packed lunches and 48 weekend treat bags for local children. This was an amazing boost to our families during very hard times. With Asda Dagenham’s support we have extended our project to an Autumn Packed Lunch Club, providing local children who are experiencing food insecurity with a daily healthy packed lunch and active play pack keeping little tummies feed and minds active this Autumn half term." Gemma said: "It’s so important we all look out for each other more than ever right now and being able to make a direct difference really makes me proud to do the job I do."

Congratulations and thank you to our fabulous checkouts colleague Sally who started at our Dagenham store 30 years ago – even before it opened to the public!

Sally – pictured here as she is today and on her first day at work in 1990 – is a familiar face in store and has worked across a number of departments. She especially likes working on checkouts, as she loves meeting and talking to customers. Sally said: "Asda's a family-run business and working in store you feel part of a family." Store manager Gary said: "Sally is a huge personality within our Dagenham store and has been that person for 30 years. Her smile is infectious, her customer service is personal and an experience that’s not forgotten. Sally is Asda!"

Four-year-old Ria wants to follow in the footsteps of her mum, dad and nan by working for Asda when she's older – and has set up her own mini-Asda at home so she can play shops while they're at work.

Ria's dad Roger is deputy manager at our Romford store, while mum Amy and nan Sally work at Asda Dagenham. Ria asked her mum and dad if she could go to work with them but the lockdown meant that wasn't possible so they bought her a toy set so she could play shops in the comfort of the front room. Amy said: "Ria loves it. She's always putting the pretend food into paper bags and saying, 'I'll get you this, and I'll get you that.' Then she scans it for us. She really enjoys pretending she's at work." Read her story here: https://bit.ly/305tuTG
