Following a comprehensive review and with support from a Heritage Compass grant, HiDDEN has developed a new ‘members agreement’ to guide the network’s future. The members have expressed a clear desire for an independent Chair to lead HiDDEN, providing strategic leadership and ensuring the network continues celebrating and preserving Greater Manchester’s hidden heritage, rare collections, and unique stories.

The Chair will play a pivotal role in driving the network’s growth and impact, working collaboratively with both members and volunteers to achieve these shared goals.

As the independent Chair, you will lead this vibrant network, playing a crucial role in safeguarding and celebrating Greater Manchester’s rich heritage while driving strategic initiatives that reveal and preserve untold stories for future generations.
