We’ve raised an amazing £10,000 for Women’s Aid – Jahmene’s chosen charity which works to end domestic violence against women and children.
Thanks to everyone who bought one of our “Vote Jahmene” t-shirts or special packs of “Chicken Jahmene” in aid of the charity.
Teresa Parker from Women’s Aid says: "Women’s Aid is absolutely delighted to receive this £10,000 donation from Asda, thank you so much to both colleagues and customers who have made this possible, and of course to Jahmene who has been such a brilliant supporter of the work we do to stop domestic violence.
“We desperately need funds to continue running our lifesaving services for women and children and this will be a massive help.”

Customers and colleagues were amazed to see X Factor judge Nicole Sherzinger and singer Jahmene Douglas at Asda this week!
Jahmene took Nicole to Asda Leyton in East London to show her the ropes as a pricing assistant – and she soon got the hang of things!
Mentor Nicole, kitted out in Asda uniform, practised scanning products in the aisles and even took a turn on the tannoy during her visit to rally support for Jahmene ahead of his performance this weekend.
Colleagues and customers at Asda Haydon are keeping everything crossed for Jahmene’s X Factor appearances again this weekend.
Colleague Christine Lane says: “Good luck, I’m sure you’ll do brilliantly and this will be the first year I actually vote!”
And family friend and colleague Mel says: “Just keep on doing what you’re doing…we’re 1000% behind you!”

Our colleague Jahmene Douglas remains one of the favourites to win the 2012 X Factor crown after a storming performance in the second live show.
Jahmene, a process colleague at Asda Haydon in Swindon, put in a confident and assured performance of Amy Winehouse’s Tears Dry On Their Own.
It earned him some great comments from the judges, including Louis Walsh calling him one of his “favourite contestants ever on The X Factor.”
Jahmene will be back in action on Saturday when the theme is set to be ‘club classics’. Give us your suggestions for what Jahmene should sing below.
