Pupils and staff at Westfield Primary School received a special delivery this week when the team from Amazon’s Delivery Station in Bathgate stopped by with a £1,000 donation.
The primary school, situated on Lomond View, received the donation as part of the ‘Amazon In The Community’ initiative, whereby the company supports the communities around its operating locations across the UK. The delivery station in Bathgate works with around 12 independent delivery companies with more than 320 drivers.
To celebrate the donation, members of Amazon’s Bathgate Delivery Station team visited the school. Delivery Station Manager, Scott Cartwright, said:
“Westfield Primary is a great school that provides a wonderful learning environment for the children in our community. We’re pleased to provide this donation and on behalf of the team at Amazon in Bathgate, I’d like to say a big thank you to the school for inviting us down to meet the pupils and teachers.”

“We’re really pleased to get this support from the Amazon team in Bathgate. We’re going to use the money to upgrade the school’s sound systems and on behalf of the pupils and staff at our school, I’d like to say thank you to Scott and the local Amazon team for their support.”
