ASDA funded the WYAS to develop a project working with communities in Beeston and Dewsbury, looking at identity, belonging and migration. It was also decided that it would be a good opportunity to work with an ASDA store and its collegues. The Dewsbury Store was identifed as the store we would working in. The following is taken from interviews and stories that were shared as part of the project.
