Local fund-raising group, QUACKS, were presented with a cheque for £310.60 by Brooklands Residential and Nursing Home, Saundersfoot, this week, to help them in their aim to buy an ECG machine for Kilgetty Surgery.
Management and staff at Brooklands raised the money for the group - set-up to help save lives in Pembrokeshire - with a cake stall and sale of hot Welsh cakes on two separate days at Saundersfoot Harbour during the summer.
Seen here handing over the cheque to QUACKS fund-raisers, Dennis and Eileen Lloyd, are Jay and Mike Umanee, Mike Bridge (deputy matron), Gwen Jackson (senior care assistant), Stefan Dworakowski (carer) and Julie Jordan (cook). Missing from the photograph is Diane Rigden, who helped out at both events.
Thanks are extended to all who helped make the two events a success.
Funding an ECG machine at Kilgetty is QUACKS' second project and this cheque now takes the total raised for the scheme to £1,425.
Already the group, formed earlier this year to support the medical centres in Saundersfoot and Kilgetty, has equipped all the practice doctors and the two surgeries with oximeters.
Currently boosting the proceeds is a raffle with a variety of prizes which will be drawn on October 26 at the Stepaside Inn and tickets are still available from QUACKS committee members.
Anyone who would like to contribute or organise an event in aid of the project is asked to contact Julie Whild on (01834) 812679.
