The Amazon team in Sutton has volunteered with The Peaceful Trust to help revamp an old community centre in Mansfield for the charity’s use.

Sixteen Amazon employees volunteered over four days to give the community centre a makeover.

The charity has various projects in Nottinghamshire and overseas, aiming to improve people’s lives, and. recently set up a project for people living with dementia, providing support sessions and day trips.

Vivek Khanka, Amazon Sutton general manager, said: “The Peaceful Trust is an excellent organisation, creating projects to support communities in Sutton-in-Ashfield and beyond. Our employees who redecorated the community centre were delighted to be able to help out, and I hope the new-look building will be beneficial to everyone at the trust.”
