BRIDLINGTON CHARITY BOOSTED BY AMAZON DONATION
A charity based in Bridlington has received a £2,000 donation following nominations of support from Amazon employees at the company’s head office in London.
The donation was made to The Hinge Centre, a charity that offers support to individuals facing social and financial deprivation. The Hinge Centre provides employability and resettlement support, benefit and welfare assistance, a variety of community clubs and activities and a community food store.
The donation from Amazon will go towards expanding activities offered to the community.
Speaking on the donation, Beth Knight, Amazon in the Community Europe lead at Amazon, said:

The company provides students with online STEM courses and has teamed up with charity partner Magic Breakfast to deliver more than five million healthy breakfasts to children at risk of hunger in disadvantaged areas across the UK.
