The donation was made through a partnership between Amazon and National Literacy Trust. The partnership, which began in 2021, aims to deliver books to schools across the UK to increase literacy and reading levels.
As well as the £1,000 donation for books, a group of 12 employees from Amazon in Swansea visited the school to host reading workshops with the story The Real Egg, and encourage fun reading.
One of the Amazon employees who helped deliver the books to the pupils at Waun Wen Primary School is Georgie Bradshaw.
She said: “I’m passionate about helping young people experience the joy of reading and I’m so pleased that Amazon has given me a platform to support a school in our community. I’m happy to have played a small part in bringing Amazon’s National Literacy Trust partnership to life this year through the donation of books and the reading event with the school.”
Clare Steel, from Waun Wen Primary School, added: “It was great to welcome the Amazon team to our classroom. The pupils were excited to receive the donation of books and they’ve already been flying off the shelves in our library. Thank you to everyone at Amazon in Swansea for this support.”
