Last weekend, our Creative Leaders came together at The Horsfall and 42nd Street for a powerful session exploring health, wellbeing and leadership — through the lens of creativity.

MADE’s Creative Leaders visited The Royal Exchange in Manchester last month, in December 2025, for an inspiring day focused on what collaboration means as young leaders. This visit marked the fifth session in the programme, building on previous learning and experiences.

Following our introductory sessions at HOME Manchester, our cohort of 20 Creative Leaders have now completed their second session of the programme. In October, we visited Z-arts to focus on the theme of Leadership, and to give the group a closer look at how creative spaces support and encourage different leadership styles.
