Letters / No rich benefactor
Sustainable Shetland has no rich benefactor, as Kenny Johnson would have your readers believe (Truly ludicrous; SN 8/2/13).
It is the strength and depth of feeling of hundreds of Shetlanders regarding the proposed Viking windfarm that has enabled us to call for a judicial review.
We rely on contributions from our 851 members and the general public, and our financial appeal is on-going.
Donations can be sent to our treasurer: Mrs E Jamieson, 34 West Baila, Lerwick, Shetland, ZE1 0SG (tel. 01595 695117) and further information can be found on the Sustainable Shetland website.
As a member of the SuS committee I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have donated to date for their generosity and kindness.

Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 600 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.

- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
- Stay editorially independent;

- Grow site traffic further;
