Henshaws Yorkshire to star in Songs of Praise
Set your TV “favourites” to include Songs of Praise on Sunday 11 July, because the popular music and worship programme will feature students and service users from Henshaws College, Henshaws Arts & Crafts Centre and Henshaws Community Housing – as well as the Henshaws Yorkshire team’s sterling efforts in the Knaresborough Bed Race!
The programme’s producers made special efforts to capture the spirit of Henshaws Yorkshire, filming at the Arts & Crafts Centre in Knaresborough, where Songs of Praise presenter Aled Jones was shown around the 11 creative workshops by art maker Jenny Hayes. Jenny, who lives inone of the charity’s Harrogate based community houses and works at the centre, took part in the Bed Race as the passenger on the bed.
Art makers were filmed in action whilst art maker Samantha Taylor, who also lives in a Henshaws community house, read a bible passage in braille. The crew also filmed at the college and inside a community house, and followed the team of ladies from Henshaws Community Housing during the Bed Race itself. An in-depth interview was also conducted by Aled Jones with Arts & Crafts Centre manager Phill Hopkins.
Henshaws Yorkshire’s marketing and communications manager Louise Ashton commented: “For Henshaws Yorkshire to be featured on a TV programme that is such a fixture on prime time Sunday evening viewing is a tremendous honour. Religious or not, everyone knows Songs of Praise, and I’m delighted that the work of Henshaws Yorkshire will be broadcast directly into homes across the UK.”
Tune in to Songs of Praise on BBC on Sunday 11 July; the programme will also feature a service from the church of St John the Baptist in Knaresborough. If you would like to find out more about supporting Henshaws Yorkshire, contact Ian Proudler on 01423 814500 or email ian.proudler@henshaws.org.uk.
