A COUPLE from Bridlington are being recognised for a combined 60 years of fundraising for sick and injured pets.

Brian and Barbara Scrimshaw will each be presented with 30 years’ length of service awards by veterinary charity PDSA on Monday.

Brenda Smith, PDSA’s fundraising manager, said: “The commitment and support that Brian and Barbara have shown to PDSA for the past 30 years is nothing short of special.

“As leaders of the Bridlington Fundraising Team, they have raised an incredible £65,000, enabling our vets and nurses to treat many poorly pets over the years.”

The pair, with the help of fellow volunteer, Kevin Wilcock, organise a regular programme of fundraising events, including selling homemade crafts on stalls and coffee mornings.
