The cathedral also offers scholarships worth around £1000 a year to gap year and university students at Leicester University and De Montfort University.[36] Whilst the choir occasionally produces CDs and other recordings, it is also one of the few cathedral choirs apparently never to have appeared on BBC Radio 3's Choral Evensong although it broadcast Choral Evensong several times in the days when the programme used to go out on the BBC Home Service. As part of the preparations for the reburial of Richard III at Leicester Cathedral, British furniture designers Luke Hughes designed new choir and clergy furniture[37] from solid oak for a new choral layout within the nave.
