A charity supporting families affected by stillbirth has received a €1,000 donation from the team at Amazon’s fulfilment centre in Dublin.
Féileacáin was formed by a group of bereaved parents to offer support to families affected by stillbirth or neonatal loss. The charity provides hospitals in Ireland with a ‘Gifts of Remembrance’ service which includes memory boxes, clay imprints, sibling support and more.
The donation from Amazon will be used to provide memory boxes to Maternity and Children’s Hospitals that are then gifted to parents after the loss of their baby.
Darragh Kelly, General Manager at Amazon in Dublin, said:
“Experiencing the loss of a child will never be an easy journey but with the right support and guidance, families have a safe space to grieve. Féileacáin is run by an amazing team of staff and volunteers who give everything to support families in the community. We hope that this donation can help support the important work they do across Ireland.”
Joe Monahan, an employee from Amazon in Dublin who nominated the charity for support, said:
“Féileacáin is a charity very close to my heart. The endless support the charity’s volunteers provide is outstanding and can be such a blessing for people experiencing the loss of a child. I’m pleased Amazon is showing their appreciation with this donation.”
Nina Doyle, from Féileacáin, added:
“Féileacáin relies on the support of the community to function, and without donations like this, we couldn’t provide our vital services to individuals and families who need it. Thank you, Darragh and everyone at Amazon in Dublin, for believing in what we do.”
The donation to Féileacáin was made as part of Amazon’s programme to support the communities in and around its operating locations in Ireland.

A group of Amazon employees from Amazon sites and offices across Ireland have participated in a cycling challenge between Cork and Dublin to raise money for two children’s charities.
Team members from Amazon’s fulfilment centre in Dublin, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon offices in Dublin and Amazon Customer Services (ACS) in Cork, joined forces on a charity cycle for Cliona’s Foundation and Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.
The group commenced the 400-kilometre cycle, in recognition of the 400,000 children diagnosed with cancer each year, from the ACS headquarters in Cork, finishing the route at the fulfilment centre in Dublin. The team arrived at the fulfilment centre after three days, raising €22,000, including a €5,000 donation from the fulfilment centre in Dublin, which will be divided between Cliona’s Foundation and Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.
Cliona’s Foundation works across Ireland to support families who are dealing with financial issues whilst caring for a child with life-limiting illnesses. The foundation was set up after the passing of Brendan and Terry Ring’s daughter, Cliona, from an inoperable brain tumour. In honour of their daughter, they have helped over 1,200 families across Ireland.
In memory of their son, Jack, Jonathan Irwin and Mary Ann O’Brien set up Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation to support families across Ireland who are in the same position they were. The charity provides in-home nursing care and respite support for children with severe to profound cognitive delay. Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation has helped more than 2,600 families across Ireland.
Darragh Kelly, General Manager at Amazon’s fulfilment centre in Dublin, said:
“We couldn’t be prouder of the teams from Amazon sites across Ireland who took part in the fundraising cycle from Cork to Dublin. This was the first-time representatives from all sections of our business in Ireland came together for a fundraising event. We are pleased to be building our relationship with the teams from Cliona’s Foundation and Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation. All involved should be extremely pleased with the amount they raised for these two important charities.”
Dave Carney, an employee from Amazon who took part in the fundraising cycle, added:
“I am very proud to have completed the cycle alongside such an amazing team, as well as raising an incredible amount of money for Cliona’s Foundation and Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation. Weather conditions were tough on the last day, but to see everyone cheering us on at the finish line was incredible!”
Brendan, CEO and Co-Founder from Cliona’s Foundation, said:
“On behalf of the staff and volunteers at Cliona’s Foundation, I would like to say thank you to the Amazon teams in Dublin and Cork for their support. I would also like to thank and congratulate the inspiring team who took part in the cycle – their efforts mean so much to us.”
The donations to Cliona’s Foundation and Jack and Jill’s Children’s Foundation were made as part of Amazon’s programme to support the communities in and around its operating locations in Ireland.

Twelve South, a leading tech accessories designer, has today introduced a new, more affordable iteration of its best-selling Curve stand for laptops for just £39.99. Its appearance is in keeping with the original Curve and height adjustable Curve Flex, but comes in silver aluminium (rather than interior design inspired matte black or white finishes that complement your space) and requires some simple assembly, whereas Curve is a seamless single ribbon of shaped aluminium.
Curve SE offers users improved comfort and posture, elevating laptops to an ergonomic standard 6.5 inches above the desk to avoid the requirement of hunching or straining to see the screen, which can result in neck and shoulder tension. The elevation also offers a more flattering angle for video calls, giving users more confidence on important conference calls.
Pair with a full-size keyboard and mouse for a comfortable setup and for those who use an additional monitor or two, Curve SE can align a laptop to the same height as an external monitor(s) via the monitor’s adjustable stand or an external riser, for a seamless multi-screen setup.
The silver aluminium colour universally complements any setup and the slender arms offer robust support to keep devices in place without being too clunky for today’s lightweight laptops and MacBooks. Using lipped arms as a base also offers better ventilation for fans, which are usually located in the base of the laptop (which some stands cover and can cause hotspots).
Curve SE comes in three parts, which users simply snap together before using the stand. No screwdriver or other tools required. Once assembled, Curve SE is designed to be a permanent solution, so disassembly is not recommended.
Curve SE is available now exclusively from Amazon in the UK for £39.99 and Prime members can also take advantage of free shipping.
