Asda cafe's £1 kids meal and OAP Winter Warmer to help amid cost of living

This winter, kids can eat for just £1 in Glasgow - and across the rest of the UK - when they visit their nearest Asda.

The supermarket, who have their own cafe, is running a 'Kids Eat for £1' deal as well as offrering 'OAP Winter Warmer' which costs the same price.

The retailer say that they have served over one million £1 cafe meals to children and OAPs since June of this year which averages around 50,000 meals a week. And its charity, The Asda Foundation, is now spreading festive cheer to good causes this Christmas by investing over £2.4 million to "support communities who are impacted by the rising cost of the living."

Asda say that community groups who are struggling to meet due to rising energy costs are also being invited to Asda cafes with warm spaces having been created on weekdays from 2pm to 6pm all month.

And in more good news, all community group members who visit receive a free tea or coffee.

Discussing the schemes, Mohsin Issa, Asda’s co-owner, said: “We have launched these initiatives to support our customers and communities this winter as we know it’s going to be incredibly hard for many people due to rising living costs. We have already served more than a million meals through our Kids Eat for £1 and Winter Warmers deals, and we hope that many more families and over 60s will visit in December to take advantage of these offers.

"On top of this, we’ve invested £2.4 million through Asda and the Cost-of-Living grant programme led by Asda’s charity, The Asda Foundation who are support grassroots organisations providing a lifeline in their communities during these tough times."
