A COMMUNITY wellbeing charity has received a four-figure cash boost from Amazon in Gourock. Safe Harbour, who work with people experiencing complex emotional trauma, had their funds boosted after a £1,000 donation from staff at the Faulds Park site. The charity plan to use the cash to maintain telephone outreach for those affected by emotional hardship and isolation, as well as food parcels. Duncan Shaw, chief executive of Safe Harbour, said: We have seen increased demand for our support over the past few months, so this money will help us to reach as many people as we possibly can. The donation was made to the charity as part of the Amazon in the Community programme.
The donation will be used to restock supplies as demand for help increases during the pandemic. Lorna Sharples, site leader at Faulds Park, said: “Inverclyde Foodbank is a lifeline for vulnerable families in our community and we’re pleased to offer our support to help the team restock supplies.” Lesley Jackson, manager of Inverclyde Foodbank, said: “Amazon in Gourock has always been a great friend to us and we are so pleased to be able to offer our services to the Inverclyde community with the support of Lorna and her team.”
