A school in Havant received a special delivery when the team from Amazon in the town made a donation of books worth £1,000 to support the positive impact it has on the local community.
The donation, made by the team at the Amazon delivery station in Havant, was made to Warblington School. The school provides inclusive, supportive learning environments where every child is encouraged to thrive academically and emotionally, preparing them for future success.
Speaking on the donation, Amazon Havant Delivery Station Manager said: “We’re passionate supporters of organisations in our community that have a positive impact on the places where our employees live and work. Everyone at Amazon in Havant is pleased to support such an important organisation with this donation.”
Mike Godfrey from Warblington School added: “It’s fantastic to get this support from the team at Amazon in Havant and I’d like to thank everyone at the delivery station for this donation.”
Community donations and employee volunteering are just two of the ways Amazon supports the communities where it operates. Amazon co-founded the Multibank initiative with former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown to support families in need. The initiative has donated more than 12 million surplus goods to over 800,000 families across Scotland, Wales, Greater Manchester, London, Tees Valley and Birmingham. This year, the Multibank will send 1 million orders to families across the UK.
Amazon has supported more than one million students across the UK with free STEM education programmes through Amazon Future Engineer and helps community organisations transport meals and other essentials to families in need through its pro bono logistics programme, Amazon Local Good.
Amazon partners with Comic Relief and is the official home of the charity’s iconic Red Nose. Together with its employees, customers, and partners, Amazon has raised over £4.8 million to fund projects that support people across the UK, and around the world.
