Arts North West is delighted to announce the fantastic news that Lauren Mackley, our esteemed Executive Director, is expecting her second child with partner Dion. We are thrilled to celebrate this exciting chapter in Lauren’s life and wish her all the very best as her family grows. Lauren will be taking a 12-month maternity leave, beginning in January 2024, to focus on this wonderful new challenge. 

While Lauren takes this well-deserved leave, we are thrilled to announce that her role will be filled by Miranda Heckenberg.
