@CatMcKinnell attended the #SlowShopping session at Gosforth Sainsbury's
today, to learn more about the movement. Our founder Katherine Vero also met with Andrew Fullerton one of our trustees, and Emma Nevin, Sainsbury's store manager. #inclusive#friendly#localcommunity
Thanks to @sainsburys Gosforth & @slowshoppinguk for telling me more about Slow Shopping Tuesdays, making shopping easier for people with dementia & others who can find it challenging. Also delighted to present Natalia, Ann & Pauline with long service awards
A few of our stores in Newcastle have teamed up to donate £300 to their local @age_uk branch to fund a special lunch with turkey and all the trimmings for 45 people who would otherwise be alone on Christmas Day #ChristmasInTheCommunity
Our founder Katherine Vero was on BBC Newcastle - Radio for the North East recently discussing Slow Shopping with Lisa Shaw - follow the link below to listen to the recording: https://t.co/m7oQl4CdVL
Semitones, a community orchestra which regularly plays in care homes, will be playing Christmas music outside Sainsburys in the Gosforth shopping centre from 2-3pm on Saturday 16 December.
They'll be collecting donations and sharing these with Slow Shopping.
This is going really well at Sainsbury's gosforth. Lots of colleague awareness and engagement with customers about it 👍#AutismHour https://t.co/VOk8mee6ON
