Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, a vital source of support and advocacy for those who have experienced sexual violence, has received a £750 donation from Amazon Development Centre Scotland in Edinburgh.
The Centre, which was set up in 1978, provides a range of services to support women, all members of the trans community, non-binary people, and young people (aged 12 – 18) who have experienced any kind of sexual violence in their lives.
The charity welcomed the donation as part of the “Amazon in the Community” programme, which supports communities in and around where it operates in the UK.
David Freeman, General Manager at Amazon Development Centre Scotland said: “The Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre does incredibly important work in our community, and we’re pleased to be able to support the Centre in continuing to provide these crucial services.”
Anna Carr, Information and Fundraising Worker, Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre added: “We’re extremely grateful to receive this donation from Amazon Development Centre Scotland.
“Each of our donations goes directly towards the cost of delivering all of our support and information services, helping us to continue this important work within the local community.”
