I’m delighted to hear that Portlethen Community Ambulance’s recent application for funding from Aviva Community Fund has been successful. They received news yesterday morning that they were successful in securing £4500 towards the cost of purchasing a new vehicle.
More than 800 deserving projects made it into the final, with more than 550 projects awarded grants between £1,000 and £25,000.
And today I heard that Newtonhill Common Good Fund has agreed to donate £1500.
The cost of the vehicle, I hear, is £24,000.
There is more information at http://portlethen-ambulance.co.uk/ if you can help, either in fund-raising or helping with the group, such as being a volunteer driver.
