Russell made friends with these wee guys on a late night trip to Asda tonight. Hrmmm they remind me of someone...
London, UK – Tuesday 26 August 2014:
Youth and community development charity Active Communities Network joined forces with retailer, Asda and their charitable arm - the Asda Foundation - to launch a partnership aimed at improving the employability of young people across Tower Hamlets.
Part of a wider pan-London, three-year programme, the Tower Hamlets partnership will see Asda ‘Community Life Champions’ and colleagues from local stores mentor young people, shadow them during intensive sport and youth work programmes and offer them work placement opportunities and training including the bespoke Open College Network (OCN) ‘Skills for Employment and Enterprise’ accreditation.
The partnership targets some of the area’s most ‘at risk’ young people, delivering clear progression pathways into citizenship and volunteering with those involved supported with access to work placements, help with writing CVs and gaining interview practice.
Despite consistent heavy rain throughout the day, over 120 young people aged 12-16 years old and local volunteers attended the launch at Mile End Stadium alongside a special visit from local MP Jim Fitzpatrick.
The free event started at 10am and included boxing, football, handball, long-jump and a ‘keepy-up’ football competition.
The events was supported by Hornstars SC, Poplar Harca, Centre Spot Events, Tower Hamlets Council, Spotlight, Milestone, Mile End Community Project, Rio Ferdinand Foundation, London GD Handball Club, and Fight 4 Change.
The event finished with medal presentations at 3pm.

Just a couple of weeks after Netto closed in Rye Lane, Peckham, a newly refurbished Asda Supermarket opens to the delight of baying crowds gathered outside.
Apple Stores and your iLaunches eat your heart out, this is how retail events should be done!
And Lidl could learn a thing or three here! Their Peckham branch closed for over a month for extensive refurbishments. And when it re-opened, they'd merely painted the walls and stuck a mini bread oven where the Ovaltine used to live. Same freezers, same tills, same layout, same everything. If that refurbishment were a Hollywood blockbuster, it'd be a turkey for sure!
Not one but three mobility scooters were present when the doors of the new Asda in Peckham flew open and the screaming hordes piled in for bargains galore.
I'll miss the twice-weekly Netto bargains.
