Who are we?
Ullapool Golf Club is a well-loved and scenic golf course situated on the North Coast of Scotland, along the popular NC500 route. It boasts over 100 members and sees a growing number of visitors.
Why are we crowdfunding?
The club is keen to ensure that this lifesaving defibrillator is available, recognising it as a crucial piece of equipment that could potentially save a life in an emergency.
How we’ll spend the money raised
The club plans to purchase an AED machine along with a waterproof storage case, which will be accessible from the car park for anyone nearby to use in an emergency. Initial quotes for the device and casing are around £1600, excluding delivery and installation costs.
Community impact
Having an AED at the golf club will not only serve the members but also benefit the wider community, as there are few defibrillators nearby. It will provide a vital resource for both locals and visitors to the area, especially those who may be further from other available machines.
