FRIENDS and family flocked to watch a Summer concert held by a York community group.


Tang Hall SMART (THS), which offers a range of arts-based activities to those most in need in the city, recently moved into its new premises on the site of the old Burnholme Community College, alongside Tang Hall library.
The social enterprise, which focuses on community not profit, was previously based in the old school building.

After the school closed in 2014, Sue Williamson, who taught there for 20 years, set up THS, which uses music, media and technology to engage, build confidence and raise self-esteem.


Among the approximately 120 people a week it helps are homeless people, those dealing with addiction, mental health issues and severe learning disabilities.


Sue now co-ordinates seven paid members of staff, as well as a number of volunteers.
