Youth club gets a £5,000 boost

WARRINGTON Youth Club is receiving a £5,000 boost to help it with its work supporting young people’s development.
The boost comes from the Amazon team in Warrington – and it is the second year running the club has been chosen as the company’s Stand Out charity of the year.
Last year, the club received £6,000 from the company.
The charity was nominated by members of the fulfilment centre team who are working with Warrington Youth Club to deliver a “Dragon’s Den” style employability session, mock interviews and further educational sessions
The support is part of a UK-wide programme that enables Amazon sites to provide on-going support to local charities, encouraging positive change in the community.
The donation will in part help towards the club’s Girls Group programme, which aims to improve positivity, outlook and aspirations for girls and young women and empowers them for their future aspirations and careers.
Site Leader at Amazon in Warrington, Prashant Pandey, said: “Warrington Youth Club does such a great job helping in our local community. We couldn’t be happier to be supporting the charity again as our Stand Out charity this year for the second year running. This initiative will help us support those working to make the local community a better place for children and young people. We’re excited to see what we can achieve with Warrington Youth Club over the coming months.”
Leon Carroll, general manager at Warrington Youth Club added:“We’re incredibly grateful to everyone at Amazon Warrington for their vote of support. The donation will make a big difference, helping us continue to provide young people in the local area with an excellent facility whereby they can take time for themselves and also grow their skills. We’d like to take the chance to say a big thank you to Prashant and the team for helping us reach as many young people as possible.”
