MEMBERS of staff at the Amazon fulfilment centre in Warrington have made a £2,000 donation to Alder Hey
Hospital Children’s Charity as part of the company’s global Amazon Goes Gold campaign.
Now in its fifth year, #AmazonGoesGold is a global initiative to highlight, support and amplify the incredible work done by many organisations to increase survival rates through life-saving treatments and research.
Each year, Amazon supports and collaborates with childhood cancer organisations across Europe who make it possible for every child affected by cancer to fight for their future. This year’s charity partners include the Starlight Foundation, Together for Short Lives, and the Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Group.
The Alder Hey charity plans to use the money to support its work helping to make the hospital a truly world-class, patient-friendly hospital for the 330,000 patients and families it cares for every year.
The team at Amazon in Warrington held a month-long series of gold-themed events. The gold theme is in recognition of the international colour for childhood cancer
One of the events was a 48-hour PJammin’ party. The team wore pyjamas to work in honour of children who spend every day in their PJs during treatment.
Site leader Tony Carr, said: “It’s fantastic to support Alder Hey as part of this year’s Amazon Goes Gold campaign and we hope the donation provides a boost to the staff and volunteers who do so much for the children in our community.”
