ON behalf of the Purbeck Instrument Loan Scheme, I would like to thank the Swanage Jazz Festival Board for generously donating £400 to help us continue to provide orchestral instruments at low cost to local school children. We currently have 116 pupils borrowing instruments and we could not keep the fee at only £20 a year without the generous support of local organisations such as the Swanage Jazz Festival.
