Amazon Tilbury competition winner makes £5,000 festive donation to special needs trust
COMPETITION WINNER MAKES £5,000 FESTIVE DONATION TO LOCAL EDUCATION TRUST
A TEAM member from Amazon in Tilbury has made a £5,000 donation to a Special Educational Needs (SEN) trust in Essex after winning a national competition to design a festive postcard.
Erzsebet Kovacs, who works as an associate at Amazon in Tilbury, designed the winning postcard in a competition run across Amazon’s UK sites. The competition is part of a longstanding partnership with the charity Magic Breakfast.
Erzsebet created her entry as an acrylic painting on canvas after developing a new love for art during lockdown. Erzsebet started painting when she was furloughed from her previous job as a printing finisher for four months due to COVID-19. She was searching for a creative activity to help pass the time and found painting helped her feel positive.
