A DARLINGTON children's charity received a £2,000 donation from a local Amazon fulfilment centre.
Barnardo's in Darlington has continued its service following the impact of Covid and received a £1,000 cash donation and £1,000 worth of stationary from the Amazon team to help increase the reach of its services across the region.
The donation is part of a long standing relationship between Amazon and Barnardo's, at the start of the pandemic, Amazon donated £10,000 to Barnardo's to help the charity during the early stages of lockdown.

Steve Oversby, director for Barnardo's North, said: "The impact of Covid-19 19 continues to be deeply felt by children in the Darlington community and it’s fantastic to get this support once again from the Amazon team.
