A BRADFORD district MP met with Asda to hear about the work the supermarket is doing across the area to support communities and charities.

Shipley MP Philip Davies met bosses at Asda’s Creating Change for Better event in Westminster where the retailer set out plans to help ease the cost of living crisis and its five-year plan to invest £50 million into communities.

It came as the company celebrated 10 years of Community Champion and Green Token Giving Schemes.

Mr Davies said: “We have a great store in Shipley town centre and I know many local groups and organisations have benefitted from its green token giving scheme and other community initiatives.

“I know from my time working for the company how important their customers and communities are to them.

“I was delighted to attend this event and hear what additional future plans they have to help shoppers, local groups, and charities through these difficult times.”

Some initiatives to ease the cost of living crisis for families already being offered include its £1 meals offer for children and over 60s in Asda cafes, locking in prices , as well as a £90m investment in the launch of its Just Essentials range.
