Leeds Rhinos Foundation, the official charity of Leeds Rhinos Rugby League Club, has received a £5,000 donation from a business in the city.
Leeds Rhinos Foundation works with communities across Leeds to improve lives through the power of sport, running programmes focused on health, education, and social inclusion for people of all ages and abilities.
The donation, which is from the Amazon fulfilment centre in Leeds, will help the charity continue to run throughout 2026 and deliver programs across schools in Leeds. This follows a £12,000 donation made to the charity by Amazon earlier this year.
Josh Vause, Site Leader at Amazon in Leeds, said: “We’re proud to continue supporting Leeds Rhinos Foundation and we hope this donation goes some way to helping them make a positive impact on the Leeds community.”
Dan Busfield at Leeds Rhinos Foundation, added: “We’re grateful to the Amazon team for this donation and their on-going support. Donations like this enable our team to continue supporting the Leeds community and spreading our efforts far and wide.”
Community donations and employee volunteering are just two of the ways Amazon supports the communities where it operates. Amazon co-founded the Multibank initiative with former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown to support families in need. The initiative has donated more than 12 million surplus goods to over 800,000 families across Scotland, Wales, Greater Manchester, London, Tees Valley and Birmingham. This year, the Multibank will send 1 million orders to families across the UK.
Amazon has supported more than one million students across the UK with free STEM education programmes through Amazon Future Engineer and helps community organisations transport meals and other essentials to families in need through its pro bono logistics programme, Amazon Local Good.
Amazon partners with Comic Relief and is the official home of the charity’s iconic Red Nose. Together with its employees, customers, and partners, Amazon has raised over £4.8 million to fund projects that support people across the UK, and around the world
