Friday, 5th June 2009
Seven local companies in Derby are putting on their gardening gloves on Friday 5th June 2009 to GIVE their free time and transform an area in the playing fields of Chaddesden Park Infants School so that pupils can GAIN a dedicated space where they can read their books.
‘Give’ and ‘Gain’ Day is a National initiative of ‘Business in the Community’, taking place in more than 40 towns and cities across the UK. Volunteers from companies nationwide will be working in primary schools located in areas of disadvantage to provide reading gardens/space where the pupils would benefit from a quiet area and a fun outdoor space where they can read and learn.
Business in the Community have identified 4 schools in inner city Derby for this initiative and have partnered with G F Tomlinson Group Limited, Lubrizol, Right4staff, Nelsonlaw and Derby University to provide a reading area at the first school, Chaddesden Park Infants School.
Richard Massey, Account Manager of Business in the Community said: “On the day, the whole team will share their skills and hard work with specialist support being provided by Greg Long a local tree surgeon will be on hand to cut back a tree for the team to utilise within the garden”.
Mr Barry Sewards, Chairman of G F Tomlinson Group Limited said: “We are pleased to be involved in this local community event. The objective is to assist with breaking down the barriers to learning and offering the pupils an inspirational area to learn”.
The team is immensely grateful in advance for the donations that have been received from local companies including G F Tomlinson subsidiary company, Total Hire and Sales Limited, the supplier of all the electrical gardening equipment.
