Asda Better Starts


**Helping young people reach their full potential**

We have three focuses:

  • Removing hunger as a barrier to learning

  • Prioritising diversity so young people feel seen and heard

  • Boosting wellbeing through participation and connection

How we're doing it

We want to make a big impact. To do that, we’re understanding the barriers that children and young people face – and doing everything we can to support them, in our stores, schools and communities. 

We’ll work with charity partners and our Community Champions to provide essential resources, and offer educational activities. Plus, Asda Foundation is on hand to support local communities by providing grants. 

But it won’t stop there. Our ambitions are big – and we want to support young people across all communities. So keep checking back as we expand on the work that we’re doing. 

What we're doing

Nothing should stop kids from being kids. We’re working hard to tackle hunger, break down inclusion barriers, and support their wellbeing – so they can reach their full potential.
