Sir John has welcomed the community support delivered locally through Asda, highlighting grants awarded to both South Woodham Evangelical Church and South Woodham Ferrers Village Hall.
He praised the impact of Asda’s in-store fundraising activities and the role they play in supporting community groups and shared spaces that residents rely on. Alongside these efforts, further funding opportunities will be available through 2026, offering local organisations the chance to apply for support for projects and initiatives that benefit the area.
Sir John encouraged community groups and charities to consider applying, emphasising the value of initiatives that strengthen local services, bring people together and support residents across the district.
