What Business Partnership Looks Like

ASDA

When we needed support to create the Green Arena Community Garden, ASDA stepped up. Their £25,000 grant from the ASDA Foundation helped create a space where children now learn about growing food, environmental cycles, and taking care of living things.

"Progress Network were awarded a £25,000 grant from the ASDA Foundation to transform unloved land into a vibrant community space – so my colleagues and I were delighted to be invited to their open day to see all the great work they have done there.

I went along with Kim and our store manager Steven and we were blown away with the transformation and community vibe. It's now called The Green Arena and it's a safe community space for young people to come together, socialise and learn new skills.

With cooking facilities and a talent stage, the space can be used for so many different things. It was so lovely meeting local groups who had helped or were just there for support the event."

— Wendy, ASDA Community Champion

Young people gather in a garden that wouldn't exist without business partners who believed in our vision. ASDA's support didn't just fund a project - it created lasting community infrastructure.
