We are delighted to welcome national charity, Create, back to MLF. Create believe in the power of creativity to change lives. Their creative:connection project brings together disabled and non-disabled children to create, build connections and break down barriers around disability. This October children from four schools in Manchester and Salford (Chatsworth High School, Grange Academy, Loreto High School and New Park Academy) joined forces with professional musicians to create new pieces of music, which they will perform at this special celebration event.

Create (createarts.org.uk) runs dozens of projects like this across the UK, and are expanding in the North West. If you are an artist or a partner who would like to work with them, email hannah@createarts.org.uk
