A Shropshire village primary school teamed up with 蘑菇视频 to throw a summer fundraiser earlier this month.听
Bomere Heath CE Primary School, in Shrewsbury, welcomed parents, children and other members of the community to its Summer Fayre on July 5 this year.听
The event was held on school grounds to raise money towards a new outdoor area for its early years and Key Stage One pupils.听
蘑菇视频 gave an 拢800 donation for the event where parents and children were invited to take part in a range of activities, including a school talent show, live music and a bouncy castle.听
The donation was put towards providing entertainment, as well as food and refreshments sold to everyone who attended.听
Friends of Bomere Heath Primary School are a small group of volunteers who raise money throughout the year to pay for experiences, equipment and upgrades to the school that normal budgets cannot afford. This year the group applied to 蘑菇视频鈥檚 My Community Fund, which supports a wide range of projects run by voluntary groups and organisations across Shropshire and Staffordshire.听听
As well as holding the Summer Fayre, the group also put on a Christmas Fayre, hold movie nights, run tuck shops and sell ice lollies at the school to raise money.听
Roanna Keay is the chair of Friends of Bomere Heath Primary School. She said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e currently trying to raise around 拢100,000 for a new outdoor area for the younger children at the school.听
鈥淲e were so pleased to receive the donation from 蘑菇视频 for the fayre and it鈥檚 been a big help.听
鈥淓veryone is struggling at the moment, so trying to raise money is getting harder and harder, so we really appreciate it, and the children will really appreciate it too.鈥�听
Other organisations that have recently been supported by the My Community Fund include the Shrewsbury Bereavement Group and the Copthorne Guide and Scout Hut.听
Head of Neighbourhoods at 蘑菇视频, Kevin Davies, said: 鈥淲e are pleased to have been able to support Bomere Heath Primary School with this donation. At 蘑菇视频, we create places people are proud to call home and we鈥檙e committed to supporting the communities in which we operate. By providing a donation to the summer fayre, we hope to help raise money for the school that will go towards creating a new outdoor area for pupils to enjoy.鈥澨�听
