From the publisher
Art with Heart are an award-winning Salford based arts company, we design and deliver performances, workshops and people-led creative projects for community groups, arts organisations and schools across the UK. We believe that when people come together through art, they have the power to make change and that change can take place where it's needed: in theatres, classrooms, community centres, libraries, on trams – and even in caravans - using whatever art form fits best: plays, podcasts, workshops, films and exhibitions. Welcome to our podcast channel where you can enjoy our 2 podcast series, Salford Voices and Box Tickers. Salford Voices Handing the mic to everyday Salfordians 2026 marks 100 years since Salford was officially granted city status, and we’re on a mission to capture what it truly means to be from Salford, putting Salfordians firmly at the heart of the centenary celebrations. To celebrate Salford’s big birthday, we teamed up with local artists and communities across the city to share stories from the past and present and to listen to what people hope the next 100 years will bring.
