Yacht club aims to install defibrillator at Scrabster

Pentland Firth Yacht Club (PFYC) has an ongoing funding appeal, for the installation of a defibrillator in its corner of Scrabster and recently received a £1200 cheque towards that goal.

This took a step forward with a substantial donation being made by DATEC Retirement Group, a local seniors fellowship offering social, educational and fitness activities.

The cheque was presented by Brian Harris, who is the DATEC secretary, to Vikki Edmunds from PFYC.

The yacht club would be delighted to receive further donations towards its target and also raised an additional £405 from an online crowdfunding appeal.
