Children In Need: Head shave and bike ride raise hundreds at Doncaster supermarket

Asda in Carcroft was a sea of yellow and even enjoyed a visit from Pudsey Bear as staff threw themselves into a series of challenges to raise more than £750.

Store community champion Tracie Northedge said: “We had a fantastic day on Friday. The local community, colleagues and friends showed so much generosity.”

One store worker, Casey, cycled 52 miles – equivalent to two marathons, thanks to Ashleigh and Connan Murray from Eco Fitness who donated a bicycle for the challenge.

Zoe Parker-Hill had her head shaved Paula Knight and Tracie and colleague Jill Carolan, also a community champion, held a tombola.

Added Tracie: “All the store joined in with all our activities.

“We are so proud of ourselves as this was our first Children In Need event and we count it as a big success.”
