Congratulations to our great colleague Sue who's been invited to the Guide Dogs annual People Awards for her tireless work volunteering in her spare time for the Bury St Edmunds branch of Guide Dogs. Sue was recently nominated for a "pat on the back" for being a member of the group since 1981 and helping make such a big difference over the years. She has won a regional award and next week will attend the Guide Dogs annual People Awards in the Maximising Impact category. Everyone from Asda Bury St Edmunds would like to wish Sue the best of luck.

Michelle and Kevin from our Bury St Edmunds store presented Glynis from the local branch of Parkinson's UK with an Asda Foundation cheque for £1,000. This will go towards the group's Christmas party.

I see the launch of Purple Tuesday as a huge step forward towards driving the agenda around inclusivity and making store environments accessible to all. The world is learning that not all disabilities are visible.

Its aim is to provide an inclusive shopping experience for everyone and at Asda we're trialling a dedicated Purple Tuesday 'Inclusive Hour' every week at some of our stores in Kent and Manchester, including the Marple store where I work. We'll be turning off displays, music, tannoy announcements and other noises to help people with autism, dementia and who may otherwise struggle with noise. Read more

Emma and John Kavanagh, pictured above with our Gosforth store's community champion Michelle Castledine, are two of the collectors who've become familiar friendly faces at our stores across the country. Read more
