DUNFERMLINE Children's Gala day received an extra boost last week with support delivered by the city's Amazon fulfilment centre.
The company made a £1,000 donation and provided some help with the event on the day.
A total of 20 team members from the online retailer's West Fife base volunteered on stalls, picked up litter and prepared and packed lunches for the children attending the event.
Jamie Strain, general manager at Amazon in Dunfermline, said: “The Dunfermline Children’s Gala is one of the best days of the year for the city.
"We’re pleased to support the team with this donation and we’re happy that our team can show their support by providing lunches for the children.
"We hope that we can continue to support Dunfermline Children’s Gala and create a strong relationship with the charity.”

Amazon worker Stuart Wainman said: "It was very fulfilling to see how happy the children were with their pre-packed lunches.
"Thank you, Amazon, for giving me the opportunity to support my community.”
Gaynor Williamson, chairperson of Dunfermline Children’s Gala, added: “On behalf of my team members, I would like to say thank you to the team at Amazon in Dunfermline.
"They played a big part in helping to deliver a successful gala, not only on the day itself but in the days before as well.
"They came with a great attitude and we hope they all enjoyed their time with us.”
