HOUSEBUILDER Cruden has donated £2,500 to St John Scotland through its charitable arm, the Cruden Foundation.
The cash will help support the charity’s work in providing public access defibrillators, CPR awareness, and patient transport services across the country.
Fraser Lynes, CEO of Cruden, said, “This is a cause close to all of our hearts. Earlier this year, one of our site team was very thankfully saved by the use of an on-site defibrillator when suffering from cardiac arrest. It drove home the importance of having equipment like defibrillators and trained CPR providers, making all the difference in an emergency. Supporting St John Scotland allows us to give back to the communities we build in and help ensure others have the same chance of receiving timely, life-saving support.”
Barri Millar, COO of St John Scotland, added, “We are very grateful for Cruden’s generous donation. The services we provide to install and support community defibrillators across the country offer vital equipment that, in an emergency, can truly mean the difference between life and death. Cruden’s contribution will help us expand this essential work even further, ensuring more people have access to life-saving equipment and the confidence to use it. We are truly thankful for their support.”
The Cruden Foundation is a private charitable funder established in 1957 and forms part of Cruden’s wider commitment to supporting the communities where it lives and works. To date, the it has donated more than £8 million and supports over 150 charities each year.
