Nomination forms are available on the Community board in all ASDA stores throughout the country.
Every time a customer shops at ASDA they are given a token and they can put it in the tower of their favourite charity.
At the end two months the charity with the most tokens receives a cheque for £200 and the other 2 charities get a cheque for £50 each.
This month MindOut, the LGBT mental health project received a cheque for £200. Lunch Positive the HIV charity who provide a healthy meal for those who have and are affected by HIV every Friday at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church received a cheque for £50 as did the Sussex Beacon who also received boxes of mince pies for their Christmas Carol Service which is at St Paul’s Church in West Street on Tuesday, December 11 at 7.30pm.
The money comes from the ASDA Foundation and the scheme runs countrywide. It is called `Chosen By You Given By Us’, and is a way that ASDA gives something back to the community.
Scene was founded in Brighton in 1993, at a time when news stories about Pride protests were considered radical.
Since then, Scene has remained proudly independent, building a platform for queer voices. Every subscription helps us to report on the stories that matter to LGBTQ+ people across the UK and beyond.
Your support funds our journalists and contributes to Pride Community Foundation’s grant-making and policy work.
