We believe in supporting the local causes our colleagues get behind, helping to make a difference to your local community. For us, sharing their passion is the ideal way to give something back to the communities that support us. That is why we set up the Asda Foundation, which through a range of projects supports good causes across the UK.
Swansea
The dance group were forced to re-locate due to harassment from drug abusers and anti social behaviour. Groundswell is a well established not-profitable organisation which has provided extensive training, performance opportunities for young people in the Swansea area. They are constantly fundraising for the new premises, together with costs to keep the dance group open. The Foundation has funded £3,000 to help with the new dance floor.
