Great private tour to celebrate #pridemonth🌈 for the staff at The General Medical Council.

The lovely group braved the drizzle/ rain and heard all of Manchester’s incredible LGBTQ history stories. What a great thing for an organisation to do for their employees. It was a time to remember, to reflect and to celebrate.

Are you a group or organisation that would benefit from your own walking tour? I can do pride walks or general history.

Im writing a new play! 💚💚💚

I’m so excited to be writing a new play for young people for the brilliant OPAC Youth Theatre Festival in 2027.

I’m working with two incredible organisations that are very close to my heart. @otwoldham @oldhamcoliseum

Back when I was 9 years old I joined OTW and it completely changed my life. It kick started my creative journey and shaped me into the person I am today.

It’s a privilege to be working on this project. The play will be performed by different school drama groups across Oldham next February.

Let’s get cracking!
