As part of the studio’s contribution to Manchester’s local ecology, Holly is a Non-Executive Director of Manchester Urban Diggers (MUD), supporting the organisation across strategy, governance and partnerships. Working with the leadership team, she supports organisational development and new collaborations around community-led food growing, land and ecological practice.

I am co-founder of Where We Meet with Hannah Vollam, a research and practice programme rebuilding the relational infrastructure that supports cultural and civic life. We create interdisciplinary spaces where people doing value-led work can connect, reflect, and collaborate sustainably. Through facilitated gatherings we strengthen trust, build collective capacity, and prevent burnout for those working across difference.
