AMAZON workers held a special pyjama party at their Dunfermline fulfilment centre this week in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

The team joined a global movement called #GoGold and linked in with colleagues in Amazon sites around the world to host a party in support of local families affected by cancer.

The theme paid tribute to brave children with cancer who can spend a long period of time living in their pyjamas during treatment and recovery. Gold is the colour of the ribbon that is the international symbol of childhood cancer.

During the event, the Amazon team made a £1,400 donation to Rachel House Children’s Hospice, in Kinross. The cash will be used to help the children and families which CHAS supports at Rachel House make the most incredible memories together.

General manager at Amazon in Dunfermline, Graham Allison, said: "We had loads of fun joining forces with our Amazon colleagues, as we seek to raise awareness and provide support for children and families impacted by childhood cancer." 

Angharad Low, from CHAS, added: “I’d like to say a huge thank you to Graham and his team for their support with this donation.

"We’re so grateful that the work being done by our hospice is being supported by the local Amazon team and I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone at the local fulfilment centre for organising the party and providing this support. 

"It will make such a difference to the children with life-shortening conditions and their families that we support at Rachel House.”
