Ever wondered what happens to the 5p we pay when taking a plastic bag? It goes to charity. And one of the recipients from Asda’s proceeds is Portlethen Community Basketball Club. They have been awarded £2000, which will contribute towards the cost of employing a part-time seasonal member of staff for a further 12 months. My friend Polly Jones from Asda tells me that over the last year more than 200 local groups and projects around the country have benefitted from Asda carrier grants and loans totalling more than £600,000.
