GIFFNOCK Primary School has celebrated the installation of a new community defibrillator, following a successful fundraiser led by the school’s parent council.
Mac Mic Foundation, the charitable foundation of Mactaggart & Mickel, made a £1,500 contribution towards the defibrillator.
The project was driven by the parent council as part of a wider appeal – bringing together families, local supporters and organisations to ensure vital lifesaving equipment is accessible for both the school and surrounding community.
Andrew Mickel, director at Mactaggart & Mickel, said, “We were pleased to support this important PTA‑led initiative, which clearly demonstrates the strength of community spirit around Giffnock Primary. Mactaggart & Mickel has long‑standing roots in East Renfrewshire, and we are always proud to play our part in projects that make a meaningful difference locally.”
Mr Lawson, headteacher at Giffnock Primary, added, “We are very grateful for the generous support received towards the funding of our community defibrillator. We are delighted that the unit is now in place and fully functional. On behalf of our school community, thank you to everyone who contributed to making this happen.”
