Amazon fulfillment centre delivers 600 play therapy kits

AMAZON’S fulfilment centre in Baldonnell delivered 600 children’s play therapy kits to Children’s Health Foundation for the patients and staff at children’s hospitals in Crumlin, Tallaght, Connolly and Temple Street.

The team from Amazon packed the boxes, along with 3 pallets of children’s toys, games and personal hygiene products.

The 630,000 square foot fulfllment centre opened in August 2022 employing 500 staff.

Millions of items are picked, packed and shipped to customers across Ireland and the rest of Europe at the centre

Speaking on the donation, Darragh Kelly, General Manager at Amazon in Dublin, said: “The team at Children’s Health Foundation, and all the staff within Children’s Health Ireland, have changed the lives of many families across Ireland, and continue to do so. I couldn’t be prouder of the team’s efforts to support the charity and show our gratitude.”

Nessa O’Reilly, Head of Strategic Giving of Children’s Health Foundation, added: “A massive thank you to the staff at Amazon in Dublin for the generous donation of 600 play therapy kits.

Play therapy helps to support the overall wellbeing and recovery of patients receiving care by alleviating stress within a hospital environment, enabling patients to express their emotions, and enhance their coping skills.

It was lovely to have the Amazon team deliver the packages to Children’s Health Ireland hospitals and urgent care centres.

We, along with Children’s Health Ireland staff appreciate the efforts of Amazon to better the care of sick children.
