The eighth financial year of the Toyota Fund for a Better Tomorrow – a programme of small grants designed to help local charities, schools and community projects – has come to an end. The initiative has supported 105 deserving schemes, allocating more than £179,000 over the past 12 months.
Helston Community College have received £2,000 thanks to Parklands Toyota
In all its worldwide operations, Toyota seeks to be a good neighbour, supporting its local communities and the environment, fulfilling its role as a good corporate citizen. Through Toyota Fund for a Better Tomorrow it is able to involve its Toyota and Lexus retailer network in deserving community schemes and provide financial help.
Lexus Swindon have supported Brighter Futures
Grants of up to £2,000 are available. Applications can be put forward by retail centres on behalf of projects in their local community, individual Toyota and Lexus staff members, or directly to the fund from projects local to Toyota GB’s Head Office in Epsom.
Here are just a few of the projects that gained funding during the past 12 months:
