Former prime minister Gordon Brown has told how a charity project he helped create which donates surplus items to those in need is seeking to expand to help more families who are facing “another tough winter”.
In January 2022 the online retailer began working with a group of charities brought together by Mr Brown, donating items that had been returned to it to those living in poverty from a dedicated warehouse in Lochgelly in Fife. Goods such as bedding, toilet roll, nappies, wipes and toiletries, as well as clothing, backpacks, home furnishings, lightings and electrical products have all been donated, or banked, at the warehouse – which was provided free of charge by Bob Purvis, chairman of The Purvis Group.
Mr Brown thanked bosses at Amazon for “their willingness to experiment with redistributing their returned goods to families in need” in what he described as a “path-breaking new model” which shows that “big corporations can do real social good at a grassroots level”.
