STRATHMORE PRIMARY PICKS UP ROOF TRUSS AWARD
THE latest Forfar Roof Truss Company £250 sponsorship cheque has been awarded to a local primary school.
The pupils and staff of Strathmore Primary School in Forfar successfully applied for the award to help meet the costs of purchasing new playground equipment.
"The children of primaries one to seven were asked what would make Strathmore Primary School even better," explains acting depute head Lorna Higgins.
"Although all agreed that playtimes are fun, they thought they could be even better if they had toys and small equipment to use.
"As a health promoting school we value playtimes as an opportunity for children to be physically active and practice social skills by playing together and sharing equipment."
The pupils have come up with a wish list totalling around 500 and the 250 award from Forfar Roof Truss Company Limited will go a long way to meeting the costs of the equipment.
For those groups, clubs, organisations and individuals in the Forfar-Kirriemuir area unsuccessful with their application, the Forfar Roof Truss Company Limited sponsorship scheme continues for the
remainder of the year.
Each month during the year a worthy individual or organisation will be selected to receive a 250 sponsorship cheque.
The money could be used, for example, by playgroups for equipment or outings; to provide entertainment for sheltered housing residents or books for schools; by individuals embarking on a major charity
fund-raising exercise; by sporting groups seeking to purchase new gear; or by students seeking cash to fund voluntary work overseas during a gap year; the list is endless.
If you feel you or your organisation could benefit from a 250 boost you should apply in writing to "Forfar Roof Truss Company Sponsorship
Project", c/o Angus County Press Limited, 117-119 Castle Street, Forfar, DD8 3AH, by the last day in any given month.
Accompanying your application should be details (no more than 300 words), providing relevant background information on you or the organisation you represent and how the 250 could be used.
Repeat applications will be accepted, although successful applicants in any given month will not be reconsidered during the remainder of the year.
Each month, the successful applicant will feature in an article in the "Dispatch" and "Herald", to accompany the presentation of the cheque by a representative of Forfar Roof Truss Company Limited.
The judging panel will comprise members of the Angus County Press editorial staff - and each month the decision will be final.
