Sophie visited our centre and we realised what a great talent she has, Sophie has a fantastic voice but also writes her own songs. Sophie has experienced bullying and she wrote a song dedicated to the theme, we pulled out the camera and put together an interview and music video.
We are so proud of Sophie and you can checkout her videos as part of our Children in need project below:
Please like and share Sophie’s videos over on YouTube and lets help her career take off 🙂

Pupils at St Ethelberts RC Primary School in Deane produced and star in the ten minute short entitled “Stings” with help from The Harmony Youth Project to help children recognise bad friendships in everyday life and on line.
Children from Years Five and Six wrote the film and were involved in directing, filming, lighting and audio recording.
And as part of the project, which they worked on a hour a week over seven months, children tool part in a group discussion about the dangers of chat rooms and online interaction.
Mandy Messham, headteacher at St Ethelberts said “Working closely with the Harmony Youth Project has provided our children with such an exciting opportunity – it’s not every day that St. Ethelbert’s pupils have the chance to be film stars!
An added bonus is that the children were able to use their talents to highlight such key messages regarding the importance of fostering positive relationships and using social media safely. The entire school community was so impressed by the finished outcome.”
The whole school along with parents viewed the premier showing where copies of the film and award certificates were presented to the proud group by Halliwell based Harmony Youth Project CEO Charlie Barrett at Harmony.
Project co-ordinator George Ellis said “the children and staff at St Ethelberts are a delight to work with and I’m extremely proud of their group work in delivering this project.

Our portable recording studio project is progressing well, we have had five young people who we have visited to record their vocals to tracks. Our portable studio includes professional microphone, headphones, speakers, audi interface and logic pro x on our Macbook pro.
If you would like to have a home recording and have difficulty in visiting our main studio then please drop us a message, we will see if we can come out to you. This service is free of charge and allows equality to all.
We would like to thank Cash for Kids, Bluespark, Rank and Lady Neville for their donations.
