AS part of their partnership work with Winsford Academy’s drive to become an eco-school, Asda colleagues were giving away free bags for life in-store.

“Too show we are fully behind the Academy’s recycling message, we handed out bags to try and get shoppers into the recycling habit too,” said Asda community champion, Caroline Cocklin.

The academy has teamed up with the supermarket for the scheme: an international programme of sustainable education that supports pupils’ work on environmental topics, allowing them to learn about sustainability via practical activities.

Future projects will include formulating eco-friendly practices at the academy, enabling the school to apply for bronze, silver and gold awards in recognition of their green credentials.
