Last night, the @greatermcr.bsky.social Greater Manchester Strategy officially launched, and we at Northern Heart are incredibly proud to have led the vast majority of its creative delivery! 🚀

Even Mayor @andyburnham.bsky.social loved the film, saying our team did Manchester proud! What a night!

We were really pleased to have filmmaker Brett Chapman lead the workshop.

Last Friday, we said goodbye to an incredible man we were deeply privileged to have met.

Filming Alan's story for our film, 'Finding 'Appiness,' had a profound impact on the direction our work at Northern Heart has taken.

This message is to let you know that Alan has found some peace.

We were in #Liverpool, at St. George's Hall this week attending the #BBC Children's Commissioning Briefing Day.

It was great to see #Wigan get some attention thanks to #HackerTDog!

You can just about make him out on the balcony 🤣

We're thrilled to announce two more talented filmmakers have graduated from our Northern Heart Doc Fund!

Last night, we celebrated the incredible new work of directors Roz Di Caprio and Olivia Hird.

Over the past 12 months, we've proudly supported them as they each created a short documentary.

We kicked off the week by holding a one-hour presentation at Create Growth's Creative Industry Day.

It was a brilliant day for those ready to level up their creative careers, and to be inspired by local (ish) industry leaders!
