Gill, who has worked at Amazon for a year and a half, is a passionate supporter of the local community in her spare time. It’s this support, which includes her contribution to the Scot Baby Box Appeal, that has seen Gill receive a nomination in this year’s Amazon Stars awards programme.Now in its third year, Amazon Stars is a UK-wide campaign that recognises and rewards Amazon employees who make an outstanding contribution to the local community by using their skills, time and knowledge to help others.Gill’s support of her community means she could win one of three Dream Boxes – the top prize awarded as part of the Amazon Stars programme.

A Dream Box, worth up to £1,500, is a personalised prize to honour Amazon’s community heroes. Gill will find out in the coming weeks if she has won a Dream Box.Gill was nominated for the award by her colleagues for her contribution to the Scot Baby Box Appeal, a Scotland-based charity supporting mothers and new-born babies in Ukraine.The Scot Baby Box Appeal was created during the start of the Ukraine war.

Across Scotland, new mothers receive a baby box which is full of essentials catering for babies from birth to six months. Jackie Crawford, founder of the Scot Baby Box Appeal, requested for baby boxes from her local community to be donated to Ukraine, kickstarting a charity campaign with far-reaching influence.Gill offered her services to Jackie after seeing news articles about how Ukrainian women had to give birth in dangerous and unhygienic areas due to the risk of bombing at hospitals in the country.

This moved Gill, and she wanted to provide anything she could for the new mothers in Ukraine. This specifically included her baby box that was provided by the Scottish government.Gill
