Myton School has received a £1,000 boost from The Gursewak Trust for its Toilet Renovation Project.
Friends of Myton School (FOMS) has been trying to raise funds for a much needed toilet blocks’ renovation since the start of the pandemic. Unfortunately, other large, ongoing maintenance projects such as boiler replacement, asbestos removal and leaking lead pipework, have taken priority.
The Gursewak Trust – a charitable organisation who are members of the Leamington and Warwick Sikh congregation – was delighted to support the school with the donation.
Trust representative, Dr Gurmit Singh, a former Myton pupil, joined Mr Perry and Mr Simmons, Chair of FOMS, on Tuesday for the presentation of the cheque. Also present was the Gursewak Trust’s accountant, Iain Goddard (far right).
The 1950s toilet blocks which Myton School is seeking to renovate are located in the oldest buildings on the school estate and have not undergone any type of refurbishment in over 20 years. The fundraising target is £200,000 split into two phases requiring £130,000 and £70,000 and anyone wishing to donate to the project should contact Mr Simmons on [email protected] or make an online payment via the Myton School Sum Up page.
Thank you to everyone at the Gursewak Trust for their generosity.
