Ron Brooks Supplies Funding for Farmilo School Music Project

17/07/2015

Ron Brooks Toyota Mansfield are delighted to have provided Farmilo School in Mansfield with an additional £1,250 towards a school music project. The ‘Music for All’ project aims to give children increased development opportunities through the use of musical instruments, with the long-term aim of building an outdoor performance area to hold concerts for parents, family and members of the community.

A cheque was presented to Head Teacher Suzanne Tryner and Business Manager Linda Priest by Mike Lane, Centre Principal and Nathan Dale, Digital Marketing Manager, who is a former pupil of the school.

Mike Lane commented:

‘When Nathan came to me with this proposal a couple of months ago I was intrigued to find out more about it. I was impressed with the plans for additional music equipment and an outdoor music area and we immediately sent the proposal off to Toyota GB Head Office.

‘We are thrilled to provide the extra funding and we look forward to coming back to see the children perform’.

Linda Priest said:

We are extremely grateful to Ron Brooks Toyota for supporting our school. We have an established choir and having musical instruments added to the performance will have a huge impact.  We feel that providing a good quality outdoor musical learning resource will help to improve the skills of our young children.  Our aim is to continue raising funds in order to install a Band Stand - this will bring the people together especially when we put on concerts and invite the community to attend.  Once again thank you to Ron Brooks Toyota for supporting and being part of our journey!

The money has been provided as part of a nationwide scheme by Toyota GB. Named the ‘Fund for a Better Tomorrow’, it provides each Centre with the opportunity to apply for funding towards educational, environmental and road safety projects that improve the lives of those in the local community.
