👗 Cabasa CIC, a Tameside-based carnival arts organisation, has launched a community-driven initiative to produce natural dyes, reducing reliance on harmful synthetic dyes and supporting a circular economy in Greater Manchester.

Cast your mind back to when you were 14. Did you know the job you’re in now existed? Probably not 😅 Over the past few weeks, we’ve been sharing videos of Workplace Safaris with Greater Manchester schools and organisations, including Siemens, Persona Care and Support and Whitecroft Lighting.
