A CHARITY supporting the Tilbury community has received a £1,000 donation from Amazon's fulfilment centre in the town.

The donation was made to One Community, a charity invested in bringing local people and groups together to develop skills and improve economic prospects and will be used by the charity to upgrade their IT systems and CRM to supporting their 'Building the New Different' three to five year strategy.

Ruzanna Sargsyan, General Manager at Amazon in Tilbury, said: "Charities like One Community do important work in our community, and we are pleased to offer our support to the staff and volunteers with this donation. We hope our donation will lend a helping hand to the charity's upcoming projects."

Samantha Day, Director, Trustee and Vice Chair of One Community, said: "The Amazon team in Tilbury has been a great supporter of our charity since 2019 and on behalf of everyone at One Community, I'd like to thank them all for this latest donation. Donations like this bring us closer to our goal of creating a better Tilbury for everyone."

The donation to One Community was made as part of Amazon's programme to support the communities in and around its operating locations across the UK.
