We did it! £385 in 5 days! 128% funded! Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your support to help fund the repair/repainting of the John O’Groats signpost. This iconic landmark had only recently been refurbished at considerable cost when it was damaged by reckless visitors. Tourists are almost always welcomed for the money we bring and spend in a local community, but the attitudes that accompany some are not so welcome. I hoped to show the community that there are many of us who do appreciate their hospitality and the beauty of their home.

We've done it!! (But don't stop!) Massive "thank you" to each donor! It took less than 48 hours for us to reach the target of £300. I cannot express how overwhelmed I am at your support. I started this campaign because I wanted to show that the majority of tourist are not like those who caused the senseless damage to this landmark and you've proven me correct. Thank You! I've seen your suggestions of other ways to protect the sign and will pass them on. Please continue to share as additional funds can only help. For now - THANK YOU! .
