Hard to hear this news A generous, supportive and inspirational mentor to so many young people at Contact (including me) You will be greatly missed Sam❣️
18 Feb 2024
We’re shocked and saddened to hear the news of the passing of Sam Malik. Sam had been a long standing member of the Contact Team and touched the lives of so many people. Our thoughts are with Sam’s family, friends and colleagues at this time. Sam was a very bright light at Contact and beyond and will be truly missed.

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
13 Sep 2023
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! 📅 Don't miss it: bit.ly/45yyNKi

“How can you motivate yourself to get into these positions if you’ve never seen anyone like you there?” Lack of representation remains a major barrier for many young people trying to break into the creative industries.

The Balmy Army are using #MIF23 as an opportunity to effect real change in young people's mental health services. Can't wait to see what they share during the festival.
