Brooke's bench boost!
BEING rushed off your feet is part-and-parcel of life on an ambulance crew and it sure makes you appreciate the chance to sit down for five minutes.
Now staff at the Stranraer depot can take a well-deserved break in style thanks to young Brooke Stewart.
Brooke, 8, a pupil at Minnigaff Primary, has been very keen to hear all about ambulance work. Her mum Dana has a long-time schoolfriend Sam Wright who's now a paramedic based at Stranraer.
Says Dana: 'Brooke had done things for Sam such as making a NHS rainbow painted stone for her.
"Then she said; "Can we donate a bench for Sam?"
The family run Greengrass Landscaping & Garden Furniture, but it has been affected by the Covid-19 lockdown as have so many firms.
'We thought it about it,' says Dana, 'and decided we'd do what we could.'
So now Stranraer has its bench that's Brooke pictured trying it out with paramedics Sarah, Andrea and Sam and now tonight the plan is to present Newton Stewart ambulance station with a bench too.
Brooke's not a girl to sit back when there's a good cause to be supported!
