0:00:02 > 0:00:05They say that cleanliness is next to godliness.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Well, I'm here in Port Sunlight on the Wirral to discover
0:00:08 > 0:00:11how this simple bar of soap led to the development
0:00:11 > 0:00:14of this idyllic Edwardian village.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Welcome to Songs Of Praise.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40On today's programme,
0:00:40 > 0:00:44I find out how the unconventional industrialist William Lever
0:00:44 > 0:00:48was motivated by his faith to improve the lives of his employees.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51We are told that Mr Lever read his Bible every day.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Not just for spiritual guidance,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56but for practical business guidance as well.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00We have hymns from the church at the centre of Port Sunlight,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02built by William Lever.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07The Reverend Kate Bottley discovers how 200 umbrellas in Liverpool
0:01:07 > 0:01:09are helping children with ADHD.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14I pray, please help me, God, just understand what ADHD is.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Please help me, God, just help me calm down.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21And there's a moving performance of Tears In Heaven from Beau Dermott,
0:01:21 > 0:01:23the young girl from Widnes with the big voice.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34In 1888, when industrialist William Hesketh Lever
0:01:34 > 0:01:37was looking for somewhere to build the new Lever Brothers soap factory,
0:01:37 > 0:01:38he chose Port Sunlight.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43At the time it was an area of cheap, marshy land
0:01:43 > 0:01:45on the banks of the River Mersey.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48But Lever had a grand plan.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50He built this beautiful village
0:01:50 > 0:01:54and named it after his famous Sunlight soap.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57At its heart is Christ Church, where Lever wanted Christians
0:01:57 > 0:01:59of all backgrounds to be made welcome.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02It continues to be a focal point for the community
0:02:02 > 0:02:06and it's where the congregation have gathered for our opening hymn.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Born in Bolton in 1851,
0:04:05 > 0:04:09William Hesketh Lever grew up during the height of the British Empire
0:04:09 > 0:04:12and quickly developed an entrepreneurial spirit
0:04:12 > 0:04:15with his own ideas about everything.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17And faith was no exception.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Lever was a Christian, but he wanted all denominations to be able
0:04:22 > 0:04:28to worship together, so he built the magnificent Christ Church in 1904.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Well, as they say at home, Chris,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34this is some church for a village church.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36There's no expense spared here.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38You're quite right, Claire. That was the mark of the man.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41When he did something, he did it to the best of his ability.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44And in the church here we have Italian marble floors,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48we have English oak pews and we have a Henry Willis organ,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- the best that money could buy at the time.- And tell me about his faith.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53It was very important to him, wasn't it?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56It was very important to him, and it started when he was a child.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59He grew up in what we would call today a God-fearing family.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01They all went to church on Sunday,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04and they all read their Bible together.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06And for the rest of his business life, we are told
0:05:06 > 0:05:09that Mr Lever read his Bible everyday.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Not just for spiritual guidance,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13but for practical business guidance as well.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16To Lever, his faith and his business were one and the same thing.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18He wouldn't do anything in his business that he didn't think
0:05:18 > 0:05:20his faith would approve of.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23And in fact the two great commandments of the New Testament
0:05:23 > 0:05:25are to love God and to love your neighbour as yourself,
0:05:25 > 0:05:31and Lever, to me, illustrated both of those commandments in spades.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Lever, later to become Lord Leverhulme,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37made his money from manufacturing soap.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40His new recipe and clever packaging saw his brands become
0:05:40 > 0:05:43household names that sold around the world.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44But at a time
0:05:44 > 0:05:47when a lot of Victorian and Edwardian industrialists
0:05:47 > 0:05:49were out to make money for themselves,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Lever wanted to recognise
0:05:51 > 0:05:54the role his workforce played in his prosperity.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59So he built the village where employees could live and work.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02So tell me about Lever's vision for this village, Judith.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06His vision was to create a beautiful and comfortable environment
0:06:06 > 0:06:08for his workforce.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Lots of fresh air and open space, beautiful houses.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14He had a great interest in architecture,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18so there are no two blocks alike. Every block is different.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Every house had its own toilet, so there was no sharing.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24But also each house had a plumbed-in bath with hot water,
0:06:24 > 0:06:29which was almost unheard of for workers' accommodation at that time.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31He built a school for all the children.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33He was a great believer in education.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35He provided a hospital,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37a cottage hospital, for all their health care needs.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41He provided a swimming pool, an open-air swimming pool.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44A gymnasium, lots of sports facilities.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Every opportunity for physical exercise.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49He was a firm believer in having plenty to do,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52so outside of work time they were not to just be idle.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57They should use their time gainfully and productively, even out of work.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59You said he was a real fan of the outdoors.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- He took that to extremes sometimes, didn't he?- He did, yes.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04He was a real fresh air fiend,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08even to the extent that he slept outside in the fresh air
0:07:08 > 0:07:11every night, he and his wife, his poor wife.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16Their bed was on the roof of their house, under a cover
0:07:16 > 0:07:20but open to the fresh air, so when it rained, the rain did come in.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Goodness.- And they slept like that every night.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Lever went on to create an early welfare state for his employees,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30providing them with paid holidays, sick pay
0:07:30 > 0:07:33and pensions for when they retired.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36So he termed it prosperity sharing.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38That was the term that he used.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41So rather than just give them a bonus in their pay packet,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44he shared his wealth by providing this environment for them
0:07:44 > 0:07:48to live in, this community, this whole way of life.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54# Brother, sister Let me serve you... #
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Now, compassion for children is something all Christians
0:09:28 > 0:09:30strive for, whatever challenges they face.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35This year is the tenth anniversary of the ADHD Foundation, which
0:09:35 > 0:09:38supports children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42The Reverend Kate Bottley has been to Liverpool to find out more.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Well, no British summer is complete without one of these,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51but recently they've been put to a more artistic use.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59This beautiful art installation in Liverpool aims to raise awareness
0:09:59 > 0:10:01of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,
0:10:01 > 0:10:05which affects the behaviour of over half a million children.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Where did the inspiration come from?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12The idea came from a group of the children that we work with,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14all of whom have ADHD and autism
0:10:14 > 0:10:16and lots of other learning difficulties as well.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18And they started asking questions,
0:10:18 > 0:10:22what does ADHD and what ASD mean?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25And we explain to them that these are umbrella terms
0:10:25 > 0:10:28for a range of challenges or needs.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30And they came up with this idea of the Umbrella Project,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33because they thought umbrellas also symbolise protection
0:10:33 > 0:10:37from the rain and the sun, and the Umbrella Project was born.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41At the launch,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45children were asked to write their superpowers on the umbrellas.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48A lot of the children were coming up with all kinds of amazing things
0:10:48 > 0:10:52that they can do, that they're so gifted at, that might not be
0:10:52 > 0:10:55the kind of things that always pass exams.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59So many of them talked about kindness and being a good friend.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Keeley is one of the children who's designed an umbrella
0:11:04 > 0:11:08and she explained to me how ADHD affects her behaviour.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12It's very hard for me to control, actually,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16because I sometimes feel like I want to punch my mum
0:11:16 > 0:11:20or I want to swear, and it's just like an angel or the devil saying
0:11:20 > 0:11:24"You should do this," and then the angel's like, "Don't do it."
0:11:24 > 0:11:28And when you're that big ball of anger in the middle of one of those
0:11:28 > 0:11:31sort of moments, what do you do?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32I just go upstairs
0:11:32 > 0:11:35and just start to calm down and go, Keeley, that's wrong.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Keeley, just don't do that. Keeley, it's bad.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Does God help you with your ADHD?- Yeah.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I pray, help me understand what ADHD is.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Please help me, God. Help me calm down.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Understanding what Keeley is going through can be a real challenge,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53even for her mum.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55It's very hard, because obviously she's going through something
0:11:55 > 0:11:58that I don't understand.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00She doesn't sleep.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03And in those moments where she's had a massive meltdown
0:12:03 > 0:12:05and she's lashing out and trying to hit you and stuff,
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- what do you do, and what are you thinking?- I cuddle her, hug her,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13and tell her to calm down, it's going to be OK.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17And then Keeley will slowly come out of that anger and she'll cry
0:12:17 > 0:12:19to me, saying she doesn't know what's happening to her.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21She doesn't know why she's being naughty.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24She doesn't know why the things are happening to her.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26She feels that people don't forgive her, and I always remind her
0:12:26 > 0:12:30that we do forgive her, and that God loves her, and that we love her.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31- All the family love her.- Yeah.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I've got this picture of you, sort of, Keeley lashing out
0:12:34 > 0:12:36and you holding her and putting your arms around her,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39and it strikes me that perhaps as you're holding on to her
0:12:39 > 0:12:41it's like God's holding on to both of you
0:12:41 > 0:12:43and putting his arms around both of you, really.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46That's how it feels sometimes, yeah. Definitely.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51For Keeley, being involved in the Umbrella Project is something
0:12:51 > 0:12:53she's really proud of.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- What colour's your one? - Mine's yellow.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57- And you wrote all over it?- Yeah.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59And what did you put for your superpower?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03I put smiling, being kind
0:13:03 > 0:13:06and also dancing and singing.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Well, smiling and being kind are fantastic superpowers, aren't they?
0:13:09 > 0:13:10- Yeah.- Brilliant.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Well, I've been told that this is the place to have a selfie.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Can I have my picture taken with you?- Of course.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Oh, great. I love it. A quick selfie. Are you ready?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22We look great! Thank you.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38CHEERING
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Here in Port Sunlight, the front gardens are as immaculate as they
0:18:45 > 0:18:49were back in the early 1900s when Lord Leverhulme first designed them.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Behind the houses he provided allotments.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57It was part of his practical approach to Christianity,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00encouraging his workers to grow their own food.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Just one of the original plots remains,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05and it's lovingly tended by today's residents.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Hi there.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- I'm looking for Diane and Liz. I think I've found you.- Hi.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Great to see you, ladies. Busy at work. What are we up to over here?
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- Well, I'm just picking some broad beans.- Do you want a hand?- Yes, yes.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Certainly. There's plenty in there if you'd like to help.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- Any special way?- Just twist them off and they should just come away.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26And what do you think of Lord Leverhulme's idea,
0:19:26 > 0:19:30that he wanted to help his workers and give them such a wonderful life?
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Leverhulme's ideas really are still as important today
0:19:34 > 0:19:36perhaps as they were 100 years ago.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38He was a man of faith,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41and to be a gardener you have to have that faith, really,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44when you're planting seeds and nurture the crops,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- because without that then they wouldn't grow.- Hi, Liz.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- What are we picking here?- We're picking spinach today.- There we are.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54What do you love most about producing your own fruit and veg?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I like the fact that there are no chemicals on it.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I don't use chemicals,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01and it's nice to know that you're not eating poisons.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- It's how nature intended it to be. - Is it exciting?- It is, yes.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I still get a thrill.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I've grown food for 40-odd years, and I still get a thrill when
0:20:08 > 0:20:12it's on the plate and you take a bite, and it tastes like a real one.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Make sense. - I've never got over that.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19And it's as close as you can get to nature, really, isn't it?
0:20:19 > 0:20:20It is, yes. And they do say
0:20:20 > 0:20:23that you're closer to God in a garden than anywhere else
0:20:23 > 0:20:26on Earth. And I think it's true.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27So it's a great place to be?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- It is, it's lovely. Does me the world of good.- Brilliant.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31This is my happy place.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Wonderful. - My little corner of heaven.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Cliff Jones' family were one of the first to move to the village
0:20:36 > 0:20:41in 1888, and it's a big part of his life.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- Is this where the award-winning gardener is?- It is, yes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Cliff, great to see you. Fabulous tomatoes here.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- Yes.- And your family have a great connection to the village,
0:20:51 > 0:20:52- don't they?- Yes.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56I worked for Lever's for 45 years, and my wife's grandmother,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58she was the first person ever to be
0:20:58 > 0:21:01employed by Lord Lever in 1886.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04What is it you love about being in the garden
0:21:04 > 0:21:06and producing all this beautiful stuff?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09The fresh air, beautiful fresh food for our families
0:21:09 > 0:21:12and other people we give to, pensioners etc.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14My wife gives it to people in the church.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17And I hear you've been singing in the church as well.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Yes, we've been singing in the church.- And tell me,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- do you have a favourite hymn?- Yes.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Be Still For The Presence Of The Lord.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Every now and then, a new angelic voice bursts onto the scene
0:24:07 > 0:24:09and takes us by surprise.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12And that's exactly what 13-year-old local girl Beau did
0:24:12 > 0:24:16when she got to the final of Britain's Got Talent.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22# Bring me down
0:24:24 > 0:24:30# Oh... #
0:24:30 > 0:24:33CHEERING
0:24:33 > 0:24:37She's the little girl from Widnes who won the audience's heart.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Now her voice has been insured for £1 million
0:24:40 > 0:24:43and she has her own record deal,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46as the Reverend Kate Bottley has been finding out.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49It's hard to imagine how a family stays grounded
0:24:49 > 0:24:52when something like this happens, so I can't wait to meet her.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Hi! I'm Kate, lovely to meet you.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- I'm Karen.- Hi, Beau. Hi, Karen.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Hello! Hello, you!
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Would you like to come through? - Yes, let's go through.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Hello, Angel.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Is this your room?- Yeah.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13- It's so pink! So this is where it all began?- Yeah.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18I used to grab my water bottle and do a little song in the mirror.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Tippy toes on the bed.- And what would you sing?- I'd just sing...
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Well, my very first song was The Sound Of Music,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28and then I'd probably sing something from Snow White.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- Do you like a Disney tune? - I love Disney tunes.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35The past 12 months have been truly extraordinary for Beau,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37but at the same time
0:25:37 > 0:25:41her family have had to cope with really difficult news.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44It's not all been easy, though, and fantastic, has it?
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- Because you've had a tough time of it as well.- Yeah.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I got diagnosed with cancer
0:25:51 > 0:25:55the day before Beau did her live semifinal at BGT.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58We had to keep it quiet, because we didn't want anybody to know.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01We didn't want a sob story. It was all about Beau.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04And that's the way it was always going to stay.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06So a couple of weeks after, we decided to tell her
0:26:06 > 0:26:09the situation, and she's been fantastic.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12She keeps me going, to be fair.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16And I understand you're doing something practical
0:26:16 > 0:26:17to help with all of this.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Well, I'm doing a charity concert on 12 October
0:26:20 > 0:26:22at the Liverpool Philharmonic
0:26:22 > 0:26:26and it's in aid of Cancer Research UK.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30And it's to help people like my dad and the families
0:26:30 > 0:26:34who are helping their family member or loved one go through this.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I love to help people, so I feel like my voice,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40it's a God-given thing, so...
0:26:40 > 0:26:42It's almost like God's given you this gift
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- and you've got a responsibility?- Yeah.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I've got a responsibility to make people happy
0:26:47 > 0:26:52and make people feel like they're just loved.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55It must make you question, though, when your family's going through
0:26:55 > 0:26:59such extremes of emotion, such wonderful things happening for Beau
0:26:59 > 0:27:01and such a tough time for you.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03It must make you question where God is in all of that.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Things come along and you've got to deal with them,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08and they do make you stronger at the end of the day.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09And we have dealt with it,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11and we will.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13And that's what we do, isn't it?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Yeah, you've got to have faith, haven't you? You know what I mean?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18And that's what we've got.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21For my dad to be as brave as he's been is really something
0:27:21 > 0:27:22that I look up to.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Tell us what you're going to sing for us.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I'm going to be singing Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32I chose this song because of the story behind it
0:27:32 > 0:27:37and how amazing it was to just write a song at this difficult time,
0:27:37 > 0:27:39because his son had just died,
0:27:39 > 0:27:45and he decided to make music his way of giving something back
0:27:45 > 0:27:49and a way of letting his son know that he's still with him.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54# Would you know my name
0:27:57 > 0:28:01# If I saw you in heaven?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07# Would it be the same
0:28:11 > 0:28:14# If I saw you in heaven?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21# I must be strong
0:28:24 > 0:28:27# And carry on
0:28:28 > 0:28:34# Cos I know I don't belong
0:28:35 > 0:28:37# Here in heaven
0:28:50 > 0:28:55# Would you hold my hand
0:28:57 > 0:29:00# If I saw you in heaven?
0:29:04 > 0:29:08# Would you help me stand
0:29:11 > 0:29:14# If I saw you in heaven?
0:29:18 > 0:29:22# I'll find my way
0:29:24 > 0:29:28# Through night and day
0:29:28 > 0:29:34# Cos I know I just can't stay
0:29:35 > 0:29:37# Here in heaven
0:29:41 > 0:29:44# Time can bring you down
0:29:44 > 0:29:48# Time can bend your knees
0:29:54 > 0:29:57# Time can break your heart
0:29:57 > 0:30:02# Have you begging please
0:30:02 > 0:30:07# Begging please
0:30:35 > 0:30:38# Beyond the door
0:30:41 > 0:30:44# There's peace I'm sure
0:30:45 > 0:30:51# And I know there'll be no more
0:30:53 > 0:30:57# Tears in heaven. #
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Just wonderful to hear Beau's angelic voice there again,
0:31:16 > 0:31:19and I am sure we'll be hearing a lot more from her.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Well, that's just about it for today.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Next week, Josie d'Arby joins thousands of Christians
0:31:25 > 0:31:28celebrating the summer at the New Wine gathering in Somerset.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32And we've a special 50th anniversary performance of the Beatles song...
0:31:32 > 0:31:35# All you need is love... #
0:31:35 > 0:31:39But for now, from everyone here in Port Sunlight, we'll leave you
0:31:39 > 0:31:43with a hymn that puts into words the indescribable nature of God.
0:31:43 > 0:31:44Thanks for watching.
