Hi there



I’m sorry for emailing you out of the blue, but I wondered if you and Halifax Rugby League Football Club might be able to help me.



I’m a researcher at Wall to Wall Television, the TV production company that makes ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ and the hit family reunion series ‘Long Lost Family’. We’re working on a new high profile programme for BBC One called ‘The Gift’, which will help people who are desperate to make amends for something that they have done or express their gratitude to someone who has changed their life. For many people it is often not possible to do this by themselves – they may have no idea how to track down the stranger who saved their life – or perhaps they can’t find the courage to make an approach to an old friend alone. The Gift is the programme that can help them achieve this, offering a real service to people who are living with the burden of an unpaid debt of gratitude or a long overdue apology.



With a team of professional mediators, psychologists and experts in tracing people, the programme will help put these people in touch, help them find a gesture or gift that represents their feelings and support them through a meeting. I am currently trying to find people who may need our help and wonder whether anyone at the Halifax Rugby League Football Club might find this relevant. I have included some more detailed background information below, and our A4 advert – I would be extremely grateful if you are able to forward this round to your colleagues, members and friends, or put it up on any notice boards, social media or other places you think people might see it. Please let me know if I can send this over to you in a more accessible format.



We would be extremely grateful for any help that you are able to give us in spreading the word about ‘The Gift’. It is only with help from people such as you that we are able make programmes that change people’s lives.





Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you,



Rachel

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:



THE GIFT



From the makers of the acclaimed genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?, and the hit family reunion series Long Lost Family, The Gift (working title) is an inspirational new programme for BBC One that helps people express their gratitude or make amends.

Is there someone who has changed the course of your life forever? Someone you never got the chance to thank properly? Or someone you’ve wronged in the past who you feel a burning need to apologise to? Do you long to talk to them but can’t find the courage to do it alone? What if you’ve lost touch with them altogether?



Living with an unpaid debt of gratitude or a long overdue apology can be an enormous burden. For many thousands of people across Britain, it’s often impossible to move on until you’ve had the chance to express your feelings in person. The Gift is the programme that can help. From tracking down the stranger who saved your life to helping you build bridges with people who you’ve seriously wronged in past, The Gift can end the years of guilt, worry or longing and finally let you begin to find closure.



With a team of professional mediators, psychologists and experts in tracing people, The Gift will document the stories of people who want to seek forgiveness or express their gratitude and need our help to do so. We’ll track down the people they want to find, support them as they prepare for a face to face meeting, and film them selecting a gift, which might be a token of thanks or to make amends.



The Gift is planned for broadcast by BBC One in a primetime mid-week slot and will be presented by a well known TV personality.



Wall to Wall Television is one of the UK’s leading production companies, with a reputation for producing ground-breaking, intelligent and sensitively made television content. Programmes include the internationally acclaimed genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?, and the hit family reunion series Long Lost Family, as well as award-winning TV drama The Girl, and entertainment phenomenon The Voice UK.
