Swindon24 reported on 2 April 2026 that staff at Amazon's fulfilment centre in Swindon had joined colleagues around the country in a week of fundraising and awareness activities for Comic Relief's Red Nose Day.
As part of the week, team members visited Seven Fields Primary School, where they worked with pupils to design their own red noses. The session was linked to "Design-Yer Nose", a blank version of the red nose meant to encourage creativity.
Employees at the fulfilment centre also organised activities for staff and the local community.
David Tindal, general manager at Amazon in Swindon, said: "Our team puts a lot of heart into everything we do, and supporting Comic Relief is no different."
Millie Grimmett, an Amazon employee, said: "There's nothing quite like bringing the whole team together for a good cause, and Red Nose Day always delivers on that front."
Amazon, described as the official "Home of the Red Nose", had helped contribute to a UK-wide total of more than £2 million for the 2026 campaign by that point. The year before, the company said it raised more than £2.2 million for Comic Relief together with its employees, customers and partners.
The 2026 campaign included limited-edition nose designs by the artist Mr Doodle. Fundraising for the appeal was still going on when the report was published.
Comic Relief was founded in 1985 by Richard Curtis and Lenny Henry and supports projects tackling poverty, injustice, conflict and climate-related problems in the UK and overseas.
