Partners
Ignite Yorkshire is a program made up of a wide variety of partners across the region. The project is coordinated by lead partner We Are IVE. Our strategic partner is Canal and River Trust.
We have worked closely with many great people and organisations, including The Writing Squad, Chol Theatre, Heritage Craft Alliance, and Heritage Corner. We aim to continue forging even more diverse and exciting partnerships as the project progresses.
Lots of our photography has been done by Jemma Mickleburgh of JMA Photography. The Ignite Yorkshire branding was designed in a collaboration between the Cactus Crew and designer Lee Goater of andagoat Ltd.
