she/her Contact Patron

Haiesha Mistry (she/her) is an actress and drama facilitator best known for her British Soap Award-winning role as Yasmine Maalik in Channel 4’s Hollyoaks. Haiesha has a long history with Contact as a member of Contact Young Company, a facilitator for Monday Drop, a Creative Expert and recruitment panellist.

“Contact is important to me because they put young people at the forefront of everything they do. The team helped me transition from a performer to an artist, the support I will never forget. One of my visions is to give back what I've learnt to our next generation so to become a patron has brought me one step closer to making that vision a reality.”
