YouTube in Yorkshire & the Humber

History

Catherine Warr is a history lover who uses her YouTube channel to delve into the unsung stories of Yorkshire. Her videos are playful and fun, and you will often see her in full historical dress whilst recounting some of Yorkshire’s finest moments, including battles, inventions, and notable figures. Yorkshire’s Hidden History has gained a loyal fanbase of local history buffs, but Catherine’s videos are a useful resource for anyone interested in discovering hidden historical gems. Yorkshire’s Hidden History’s videos have been viewed over 100,000 times and have been used within educational institutions as an alternative learning tool.

I've always loved history, and I wanted to be able to share it with people in an interesting, informative, and entertaining way. I’m so proud of how some of my videos have taken off and especially where they have been used in a classroom setting - it shows people really value them as educational resources. Reading the comments from people who have learnt from my channel really drives me forward to continue in my creations.

Science

Abraham the Pharmacist created his channel to inspire, educate and empower the public with healthcare related videos, and at the same time, to help combat misinformation online. No matter which video you watch, you are likely to come out with a different perspective on something you thought you knew. All of Abraham’s videos are full of energy, knowledge, and a bit of humour for good measure. Abraham presents his videos in a simple and educational way, covering topics from how to treat a burn, tips on how to wake up early, and providing unbiased information and facts on different popular diet plans.

As a prescribing pharmacist working in a medical practice in West Yorkshire, YouTube has given me the opportunity to connect with millions of people all over the world in a way which was never possible before for a healthcare professional. There are many reasons why I love Youtube. If I had to pick one, it would be the feeling of knowing that someone somewhere around the world could be watching one of my videos right now and having a positive influence on their health.
