Why are we doing this?  Fettercairn is a small community in the beautiful Aberdeenshire area.  Earlier  this  year  a  first  aid  course  was  held  in  the  local  primary school.  We  were  shown  all  the  usual  first  aid  techniques and it  was  also  explained  how  important  it  would be  to  get  a  defibrillator  into our community.   We  are  located  at  the  bottom  of  the  cairn  o'  mount  road  and  this could help  save  a  life  if  between  Banchory  and  Fettercairn  if someone  was  to  suffer  a  cardiac arrest.

This  was  something  discussed  at  the  Fettercairn  Parent  Council  and Cairn Grove Committee in Fettercairn (who had already been working on it for some time). Hopefully our joined up approach will get this to happen soon.

Our goal is to purchase a defibrillator (which we are delighted we are being gifted by WHYTE AND MACKAY). What we need to do now is adopt the BT telephone kiosk which is to be decommissioned and convert it to a defibribrillator station (hopefully) and to be confirmed or find somewhere else.

These funds will be used for maintenance of the Defib and potential site for it.

Help  save  a  life.   Remember, every penny counts and GIFT AID helps us raise even more.

Note: All funds will be transferred to Fettercairn Parent Council by BACS and will be held until we have enough money to proceed. There are also running costs and we will be fundraising to help meet those too.
