Jessie May Children’s Hospice at Home, a Bristol-based charity that provides support to terminally ill children, has received a £1,000 donation from Amazon’s fulfilment centre in Bristol.

Jessie May received the donation from Amazon as part of its local community support programme. The charity provides vital respite care, as well as emotional support, end of life care, and bereavement support for families in Bristol and surrounding areas. They plan to use the money to ensure that their nurses can continue to deliver this vital support to more families who need it, for many years to come.

Amazon Bristol General Manager, Pat Faulkner, said:

“It’s a pleasure to provide such a worthwhile local charity with support. The work undertaken by Jessie May Children’s Hospice at Home is so important and very touching, as it helps families at the most difficult of times. We are thrilled to offer our support to the charity.”

Chris Roys, Jessie May’s Chief Executive, added:

“We have a team of dedicated nurses who provide care to children and families who need us, and donations like these are so important to maintain the support of our local community. I’d like to say a huge thank you Amazon in Bristol for their generous donation, which will enable us to continue offer our services to more local families.”

The donation forms part of the ‘Amazon In The Community’ programme whereby the company supports the communities around its operating locations across the UK.
