A mountain rescue team received a boost to its appeal to replace its vehicles with a donation from a local building society.
The Furness Building Society presented Coniston Mountain Rescue Team with £300 towards its Wheels Appeal.
The Lake District team is aiming to raise £150,000 to replace its fleet of Land Rover ambulances. The team’s treasurer Jeff Carroll said: “We are really pleased that Furness Building Society was able to help. We’re over half way now and contributions from our local community mean a lot not only in terms of the monetary value, but also in the moral support.”
The society’s Grange and Ulverston area manager Ian Quayle said: “The Furness is both proud and pleased to be able to support such a worthy local cause.”
