Asda’s Commits Support To Care Homes During COVID-19

Asda’s president and CEO, Roger Burnley, has pledged the retailer’s support for over 3,500 care homes across the UK.

In an email to shoppers, Burnley said that Asda will be extending its support for the most vulnerable during the pandemic, by offering small care homes priority access to online delivery slots for the next six months.

The offer of support has been sent to 3 500 small care homes, inviting them to register for a ‘priority pass’ with the supermarket chain, which gives them early access to online slots.

Burnley said the retailer would also be donating 250 000 medical-grade masks to care home customers, which are set to be delivered by mid-May.
