Being nervous about new things is totally normal. At E2M, we really understand how you feel. Our groups are small, and everyone that comes agrees to a kindness contract, so you know you’ll be surrounded by friendly faces. Our amazing volunteers are here to support you and make sure you feel welcome. E2M is all about being a stress-free, friendly place where you can relax and have fun. Come along and see for yourself!
We don’t want travel expenses to be an obstacle to anyone attending! Escape2Make will cover your bus fare up to £4.50 per day for any workshops you attend. Just show your bus ticket to the session facilitator at the end of your workshop to claim back your bus fare!
"It is very inspiring to know that this project has worked with local young people to plan and deliver a wonderful event that celebrates the rich heritage of the North West of England. We know that heritage can play a huge role in bringing people together and furthering a sense of pride in local communities; in turn boosting the local economy. This project is a perfect example.”
Helen Featherstone, Director of England (North), National Lottery Heritage Fund
