Ron Brooks Funds £1250 for Farmilo Music Project
Tue 22 Sep 2015Ron 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.

20th April 2015 Farmilo Working with the Community
Mon 20 Apr 2015Maun Valley Citizens
The launch of Maun Valley Citizens began back in September 2014 at Queen Elizabeth’s Academy, with around 100 people from local faith groups, schools and other community organisations all joining together to do good for Mansfield and the local community. In November, an accountability assembly took place at which three working groups were established to work on agreed areas for improvement, namely: jobs, loneliness and safety.
The Maun Valley Citizens campaign has been greatly support by local schools and it enables School Councils to reflect on their local community and what matters to them. At the last meeting in March 2015 at The Samworth Church Academy, the Maun Valley community came together to agree on the asks for the potential Mansfield Mayoral candidates. Queen Elizabeth’s Academy students are asking for support in increasing the opportunities for young people to have more work experience and students from St Philip Neri are asking that the speed limit outside their school should be reduced. The work so far has been amazing and gives children and young people a real since of purpose in their local community. The work also empowers them to build a true sense of belonging and they see that their input is being shared.
The next big event for Maun Valley Citizens will be on the 20th April 2015 at Vision West Notts College, when around 400 people will come together to share the agreed priorities for Maun Valley with the future Mayoral candidates. The Mayoral candidates will be put on the spot and asked how can they support asks for the Maun Valley Citizens agenda.
