FAIRFIELD Farm College has been awarded over £2,000 so it can purchase new sports equipment for students.

The Dilton Marsh college for people with special needs was given £2,056 at last week’s Area Board meeting.

It will use the money to buy sports equipment which students will be able to use on the multi-use games area (MUGA), which was installed last year.

The college is also hoping to raise enough money for floodlights to be installed on the pitch so that students can use it for longer in the winter.

Contact the college on 01373 823028 if you would like to help.
