Amazon employees at the Chesterfield fulfilment centre have packed and donated 220 backpacks for Heritage High School and Norbriggs Primary School.

One of the employees from Amazon in Chesterfield who helped pack the backpacks is Greg Woodward. He said: “I had a great time putting together the backpacks with my colleagues to support two brilliant schools in our community. It's really rewarding to see Amazon investing in the education of children in Chesterfield, and I'm glad to have been part of it.”
