A GRANT of £8,500 has been given to the South Wye Development Trust in Hereford.

To celebrate Asda’s 50th birthday, the supermarket is treating deserving customers, colleagues and communities to an Asda cake, as well as grants from the Asda Foundation.

Customers and colleagues at the Hereford store were asked to nominate local community projects, with South Wye Development receiving the most votes.

The Kindle Centre, next to Asda, is managed by the trust to deliver regeneration work in South Wye.
