We're Recruiting - Make It Together Project Manager

Make It Together is a 9-month, Arts Council England-funded project that brings together Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs) and national arts and culture partners to unlock inclusive everyday creativity across three pilot locations: Manchester, Barking & Dagenham, and Wiltshire.

The project embeds Creativity Connectors within local DPOs to bridge the gap between Disabled creatives and community-based creativity groups. The project will develop and share two national toolkits and culminates in an online Symposium in January 2026.
