Only two days after completing her first aid training, Debbie from our Sittingbourne store was called to do CPR on bakery colleague Tara who'd collapsed with an angina attack.

Debbie was helped by fellow first aider 19-year-old Tyler, who calmly relayed advice and instructions to her from a 999 call handler. Tara said: "I'd like to say a massive thank you to them both for what they did on that day. If it wasn't for them I don't know what would have happened. Having first aiders in the store is just so important. I was putting cookies on a shelf and all of a sudden I got a pain in my chest, going down my arm and I just blacked out. I don't remember much of it at all."

Tara spent 17 days in Medway Hospital where she underwent various tests and scans. She's now back at work, but is on medication. Debbie said: "I passed my first aid training on the Thursday and Tara's episode was on the Saturday – two days later! I wasn't expected to use that part of my training. I thought I'd just be doing cuts, grazes, burns that sort of thing. When I was doing the compressions I was actually crying as it was so upsetting as I've known Tara for a long time. I'm just glad that she was okay."

Both Debbie and Tyler have been nominated for Asda service superstar awards for their actions. Asda Sittingbourne store manager Shah said: "I'm incredibly proud of both Debbie and Tyler for stepping in and administering CPR. Their calm and decisive actions were a testament to their training and compassion and we are all grateful and proud for their efforts to help our colleague."

We're bringing back the Winter Warmer £1 meal deal in our Asda Cafes to support older people during the colder winter months.

The meal run is available from November 1st until the end of February and offers people aged 60 and over the chance to enjoy soup, bread and unlimited tea and coffees for just £1 in Asda Cafes nationwide.

Our community champions are also inviting and encouraging many local over 60s groups and individuals to use the £1 Winter Warmer meal as an opportunity to come and chat to others. Last year, Asda’s Christmas community tracker laid bare the lack of human interaction and conversations millions of older people suffer in the run up and during the festive period, with one in 10 not sure they will speak to anyone between December 15th and January 1st and one in 10 over 60s said they’d gone to a supermarket simply to speak to another person.

Jordan Cummings, Buying Manager, Cafes and Concessions at Asda, said: "We know winter is set to be incredibly hard for thousands of pensioners as they continue to worry about how to keep themselves warm in the face of rising living costs and on a fixed income. Last year alone we sold over half a million meals showing the vital need for this initiative. We hope the Winter Warmer meals will continue to be just as impactful as last year across the winter months for those who need it most."

Volunteers like these air cadets will be in our stores ahead of Remembrance Day selling poppies in support of the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal.

The cadets, from 177 (Blackpool Airport) Air Cadets helped our Blackpool store's community champion Angie launch the annual appeal. She said: "It's so nice to see young people supporting the appeal and remembering those who have fallen or were injured in conflicts. The cadets will be back in store at the weekend and we have volunteers from the Royal British Legion in store on other days."

A huge thank you to all our generous customers who supported the Poppy Appeal in our stores last year, helping us raise £1,451,335 to support the armed forces community.

Children dressing up for Halloween can have one of our Kids Eat for £1 meal deals completely free in Asda Cafés nationwide on October 31.

The £1 meal deal will continue throughout the rest of the week, which is half term in much of the country. There's no minimum spend and no need for an accompanying adult meal. Dishes include chicken nuggets, fish fingers, penne pasta and pizza, and the cold Pick & Mix option, which includes a sandwich, drink, fruit and a sweet treat.

Jordan Cummings, Buying Manager, Cafes and Concessions at Asda, said: “Halloween should be about fun, not financial fright. With Halloween falling in half term this year, we’re proud to help families celebrate without breaking the bank - from free meals for kids in costume to great value across the store, including fun outfits from George.”

Katherine from our Derby store is getting behind our Tickled Pink charity campaign – and knows from her own experience just how important its message of regularly checking yourself is.

Katherine has secondary breast cancer which means that cancer cells have spread from the original breast cancer to other parts of the body. She needs chemotherapy in hospital every three weeks to keep it under control. She said: "Raising awareness of breast cancer is so important and that's why Tickled Pink and the check-it campaigns are vital. Both men and women need to be aware of their own bodies and if they find something that they think isn't right then they need to go to see their GP straight away. The earlier it's caught the better."

Katherine was first diagnosed with breast cancer 13 years ago. She found a lump on a regular check and went to the doctors where it was confirmed as beast cancer and subsequently had it removed and had both chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment. Four-and-a-half years later the breast cancer returned and she was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. She said: "It was Christmas time and they found out that it had spread to my lungs, liver and also bones. I had chemotherapy straight away and it worked very well for me and by the time I'd completed the course my lungs and liver were clear. At the moment I don't have any active disease but I do have to have chemotherapy every three weeks which is pretty hard. Things can be tough but I'm a very positive person. I really look after myself and I love life."

Asda Derby's community champion Rosie said: "Katherine is honestly one of the most loveliest people I've ever met in my life and I am so lucky to have her as not only a colleague, but a friend. I'm so proud of Katherine for telling her story – she's such an inspiration. I can imagine there's a lot of people out there in a similar situation as Katherine and I'm just hoping this inspires them. There is hope and you're not alone."
