Millie Bottomley
she/her Board MemberI am a creative producer and facilitator based in the Northwest. My work focusses on empowering young people and communities to engage with the arts and reignite the creative play we are all born with.
As a Northerner with no prior networks into the arts and culture world, I know the important role organisations, such as Contact, play in supporting and nurturing emerging talent in the city and beyond.
Having previously worked for Contact within their engagement team and in a freelance capacity, I am looking forward to being able to work with the brilliantly passionate Contact team again. Stepping into this new role is an exciting opportunity to learn, share my own knowledge and help shape the Contact that future generations of young people, artists and audiences will know and love.
