You should feel at home here and valued for who you are.

So we won’t accept discrimination, harassment or less favourable treatment on the grounds of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion or belief, disability or any other aspect of life.

Our ambition is to reflect Manchester to the max. Think of all the individuals walking down our streets, the stories they could tell. All that talent ready to burst out of every borough.

We are going to bring the full breadth of voices and experiences into our governance and leadership, as well as our commissioning, training and learning programmes, participation, volunteering and recruitment.

Our programmes and processes are under constant review so you can hold us to that. We’ve set goals across several areas – from artist development and participation to recruitment and procurement – which our board of trustees will check every quarter.
