Westray Coastguard Volunteer Geordie Drever Celebrated for 45 Years of Service

Lodged by Liam McArthur (Scottish Liberal Democrats) Standard Motion 24 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament celebrates the remarkable milestone achieved by Westray HM Coastguard volunteer, Geordie Drever, who has completed an outstanding 45 years of dedicated voluntary service; understands that Geordie is considered to be a distinguished, committed and selfless volunteer whose work has proven invaluable to the Westray Coastguard Rescue Team over the years; recognises that, since joining Westray CRT in 1979, Geordie has been involved in countless rescue operations, including an incident in 2020 when a creel boat ran aground off Westray with two people on board; notes that Geordie’s contribution was marked with a special presentation night that took place at the start of December 2024, during which he was awarded The King’s Coronation Medal, and believes this to be a fitting tribute to Geordie’s unwavering and compassionate dedication to keeping his community safe.
