Asda Spaces and Places

‘Spaces’ may be Asda stores, where we encourage community connections and giving, while ‘Places’ are in the surrounding neighbourhoods, where we build community resilience through Community Champion outreach activities, colleague volunteering and grants from our charity, the Asda Foundation. 

Small grassroots organisations play a vital role in their community, making positive change and improving people’s lives every day, but the challenge for many is having the appropriate space and place to bring people together to deliver their fantastic work. To address this issue, we have launched new spaces within our stores, providing access to safe and inclusive spaces for community groups to meet and bringing people together. 

We opened 11 new community rooms in 2024 giving us a total of 29 community rooms. We have further community rooms planned in 2025. The provision of rooms, alongside additional store space, helped us deliver over 10,000 space donations.
