A suicide prevention charity has received a £1,000 donation from the Amazon fulfilment centre in Dunfermline.
Andy’s Man Club is a nationwide charity aiming to end the stigma around men’s mental health by offering weekly mental health support groups for men across the UK. The local groups in Dunfermline meet every Monday evening at 7pm, excluding bank holidays, where men can chat in a safe space about any difficulties they may be struggling with in their lives.
The donation from Amazon will go towards supporting the charity nationally with advertising and promotional materials, volunteer expenses, events, facilitator team building and provisions over periods when the centres are closed.
Speaking on the donation, Jamie Strain, General Manager at Amazon in Dunfermline, said: “Andy’s Man Club is a fantastic charity working hard to reduce the stigma around men’s mental health.
“I hope that this donation will be beneficial for the charity as it continues its work.”
Craig Bain, an employee who nominated the charity for support, added: ““Andy’s Man Club is a charity that is very close to my heart.
“It provides incredible support for men seeking to improve their mental health and I am glad Amazon has decided to support the charity with this donation.”
Joanne Smith from Andy’s Man Club, said: “We would like to say a big thank you to Jamie and the team at Amazon in Dunfermline for this donation.
“Their support is greatly appreciated and will allow us to continue our suicide prevention work in Dunfermline.
“The latest venue addresses can be found by emailing info@andysmanclub.co.uk or on the website www.andysmanclub.co.uk”
The donation to Andy’s Man Club was made as part of Amazon’s programme to support the communities in and around its operating locations across the UK.
