Hertfordshire Scout group was facing a long, hard winter when the outdated heating system in its meeting hut failed. But a donation of free equipment from Fujitsu General Air Conditioning UK means the Scouts were fully prepared to face the colder months.

The Second North Watford Scout Group includes Squirrel Scouts, Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts and Scouts, who are based in a concrete building dating back to the 1960s. Its forced air gas-fired heater was beyond economical repair and, without radiators in the hut, an air-based solution was required.

Fujitsu donated two 10kW wall mounted split systems from the training room of its Elstree HQ. Due to be replaced by newer units, the systems were otherwise destined to be stripped for parts and/or scrapped.

The equipment was installed by Mick Mills, owner of Watford-based electrical and air conditioning contractor Truenorth. He also donated his time and any materials he had in stock, only charging the group for additional purchases specific to the job.
