Gateley renews Lowry partnership

Our Manchester office renewed their partnership with Lowry, Salford’s iconic arts and cultural venue, following a milestone year for both organisations. In 2025, we celebrated 15 years in the city, while Lowry celebrated its 25 anniversaries, strengthening a shared sense of community.

As part of the renewal, we continued to support Lowry’s flagship Socially Engaged Arts Programme, which works with young people facing significant barriers, including cared-for young people, young carers, youth at risk of homelessness and underserved families and communities across Salford.

During the first year of our partnership, we enabled local schoolchildren to experience live theatre, many for the first time. Pupils attended a performance of Mischief Theatre: Christmas Carol Goes Wrong, helping spark creativity and confidence ahead of submitting entries to Lowry’s Creative Writing Challenge.

Located in Salford Quays and named after the 20th-century painter LS Lowry, the award-winning venue was officially opened in October 2000 by Queen Elizabeth II and currently welcomes over 900,000 visitors a year. As a registered charity, all profits go directly back into the community, nurturing local talent and fostering the creative professionals of tomorrow through its diverse program featuring theatre, dance, musicals, music, comedy, visual arts, and more.

This partnership is built on the shared values of community impact, nurturing young talent and local pride, so we are proud to play our part in facilitating world-class art being available across Salford and beyond.
