The CVC Trustees warmly welcomes your support to help make life at CVC for the students and wider community even better. In keeping with our remit we embarked on an ambitious new project in early 2010!
The CVC Trust Fund donated £1,000 to kick-start a fund-raising project to provide a Grand Piano for the Performance Hall at Comberton Village College. The target is £16010 which covers the cost of the piano and installation, plus frame and cover. We hope that some matched funding or grants will be gained to help with this very worthwhile project.
On Friday 12 February, Executive Principal Stephen Munday together with all five Heads of Year bravely wore school uniform for the whole day and raised £241.00 for the Appeal (see third photo). Further events and activities were organised throughout 2010.
We are extremely pleased to have recently received confirmation of a successful £7,000 grant from South Cambridgeshire District Council towards the cost of the Piano. This brings us tantalisingly close to our target.
The grand piano will be a great resource for the Performance Hall - a performance space of this size would be ill-equipped without one. Large groups such as choral societies, high-quality performance artists or amateur orchestras can now use the venue without incuring the expense of hiring a suitable instrument.
It is hoped that our new piano will help to generate and establish musical activity at Comberton Leisure. We are aware that a similar purchase at Impington Village College led to the instigation of an annual series of community recitals.
So please dig deep and donate now.
Thank You!
