Letters / A community group that cares
This morning, in common with all residents and business owners in North Yell, I received a terrifically professional and positive letter from North Yell Development Council, seeking ways to help families and businesses in North Yell, and offering some of their own funding.
How wonderful to see a community development group that really cares for the community.
Would the trustees of Shetland Charitable Trust possibly reconsider how they can best support the people of Shetland at this parlous time?

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.
Your contribution will ensure Shetland News can: -
- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
- Stay editorially independent;
- Give a voice to the community;
- Grow site traffic further;
- Research and publish more in-depth news, including more Shetland Lives features.
