A CHARITY that runs a day centre in Bracknell for senior citizens has teamed up with students to create a promotional film.

The COATS charity in Crowthorne and students from the Farnborough Sixth Form College created the film to use in their outreach activities.

The students brought along an array of equipment to make the film on Thursday, March 21.

The charity believes that the partnership with the college has a huge benefit because it will show visitors what they centre has to offer.

David Wilson, a trustee from COATS, said: “All the COATS senior citizens thoroughly enjoyed the visit by the student film crew; it was like an extra entertainment item for them.

“We discovered a number of stars among our seniors and they are all very much looking forward to seeing themselves in the finished film.”

The college students scripted and edited the film to produce a piece under real working conditions.

Will Devereux, a senior media technician from the college in Farnborough believes it was a great opportunity to contribute to the community.

He said: “It’s an opportunity for students to experience meaningful and exciting work experience. Working with David, the team at COATS and the visitors has been an absolute delight.

“We look forward to working on more projects together in the near future.”

The film is due to completed by April and will be used to promote the COATS centre. For more information about the centre, visit: http://coatscrowthorne.org.uk/.
