Our People

Contact is where lives are changed through the arts.

We provide opportunities across the organisation for those aged 13-30 to develop their skills and interests. This includes working alongside staff in deciding the artistic programme, marketing and communications strategy and making staff appointments.

All of our staff team and board members have been appointed following interviews with our young panel to ensure we all embody our ethos of empowering the next generation.

All of our newly appointed Patrons are either from, or have lived and worked in Manchester. Contact has touched their lives and inspired their careers in some way. This stellar group all help to further strengthen Contact’s support network and continue our mission.
