  Bedford Primary's B.E.S.T Charity has been selected by Asda as one of its chosen charities in the local store in Bootle for collection of green tokens. The green tokens are collected and the winner is chosen dependent on the number of tokens given by customers to the charity, which receives a cheque for £200 if it has the most tokens. We would be really grateful if families and friends of Bedford could place their green tokens, which can be collected free at the check-outs, and place them in the appropriate container for B.E.S.T. Every green token counts!

  Thank you for your support.
