Local MP Tom Gordon visits Henshaw’s College
On Tuesday 1st October, Tom Gordon, MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough, visited Henshaw’s Specialist College in Harrogate, to learn more about what they do and how he can help them going forward, and to show his support for the college and the essential care and development that they provide.
Henshaw’s College offers day and residential placements for young adults aged 16 to 25 with special educational needs and disabilities. During his visit, Tom was given a tour of the college’s impressive facilities, met with the dedicated team of professionals, and engaged with some of the students who benefit from the college’s tailored programmes.
Tom said:
“Henshaw’s college was an incredibly inspiring place to visit. The facilities are outstanding, and the college has clearly thought of everything to ensure students receive the support they need to achieve their goals and develop independence. It was clear to me that this institution provides an environment where students can truly thrive.
“It was also clear how hard the dedicated team of staff work to help students flourish both academically and personally. Their passion and commitment make a real difference in the lives of these young adults.
“To have such a vital resource in our area is tremendous, but it is crucial that they receive the backing and support they need. I am fully committed to working with the college and offering my support in any way that I can to ensure they can continue their invaluable work.”
