Primary school gets Amazon gardening help

The Amazon team got stuck into gardening and painting at Hafod Primary to give the school grounds a new lease of life ahead of the start of school. 

The support follows a £1,000 donation made to the school last year from the Swansea fulfilment centre.

Christopher Law, General Manager at Amazon in Swansea, said: “We are proud to have colleagues at Amazon in Swansea who go out of their way to support the local community. Our team did a fantastic job sprucing up Hafod Primary School and I’m sure the pupils and teachers are very pleased with the results.”

Emily Thomas, one of the volunteers from Amazon in Swansea, added: “Thank you to Amazon for giving me the opportunity to take part in a great volunteering project. I really enjoyed gardening and painting with my colleagues and I’m really looking forward to taking part in more days like this in the future.” 

Timm Dadds, headteacher of Hafod Primary School, added: “A huge thank you to Christopher and the team from Amazon in Swansea for giving up time to brighten up our school.

“The children were so pleased to see the freshly painted outdoor areas, they thought the school had a makeover!

“By clearing the garden areas, the Amazon team has made sure that we now have plenty of room to start planting and improving our outdoor surroundings.

“The ongoing support from the Amazon team is greatly appreciated by all of us at Hafod Primary School. Diolch yn fawr!”
