We won!
We are still pinching ourselves after the Be Proud Awards. We received the award for Creativity in Neighbourhoods.
Thank you so much for the recognition and support. It’s a huge motivation for us both and the work that we do.

Loved Census tonight - seeing working class stories on stage is still far too rare so hearing the stories of the people from Moston on stage tonight was ❤️ Think the last 2 shows might be sold out but worth grabbing any returns if you can. Huge well done @MalandraJacks
CENSUS STARTS TODAY! 📣
Prepare to be captivated by the performance from the award-winning @MalandraJacks as they unpick the complexity of present-day working-class identity. ✨
On until 16 September! 📅

Watched Census last night at @ContactMcr and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Funny, relatable at times and slightly emotional. The visuals and sound are amazing which makes the who show effective
There are a few tickets left for Saturday's show and would recommend seeing it

After almost 4 & a half years of being a trustee I had my last board meeting @ContactMcr last night. I first started working with Contact as a participant in 2015 on @Agency_change
With more exciting news to come I’m feeling very humbled & thankful of my time on the board 🌟
…
Being a trustee is something I never thought I’d be and it has been such a huge learning experience. I’ve loved contributing to Contacts visions from the top and working alongside the rest of the board members & staff past and present…
I continue to work closely with Contact as the Lead Facilitator of The Agency, 8 years after I participated on the project myself. Thanks also to everyone else who I’ve met along the way! Continue to support @ContactMcr for the gem in the city that it is!
I was pretty taken back with my thoughtful gifts, card and lovely words. It makes me step back and look at how vital Contact is to me, my friendships and my career.
