🌟 This one's just a shout out, a fond farewell and an appreciation post for Lizzy Thomson who is moving on after almost three years with us 🥲
Lizzy became one of our first Young Producers - but her journey with Warrington Arts Festival and Culture Warrington didn't end there.
With more enthusiasm and energy than a Duracell Bunny, she impressed our team so much that she went on to be offered a role as Assistant Producer 👏
That allowed her to play an integral part in planning Warrington Arts Festival, lead on other projects such as Scratch Night and become an inspiring figure for other Young Producers.
The Young Producers scheme was set up to help young people get a foot in the door of creative industries while gaining practical hands-on experience of the skills needed - and in a way Lizzy came to symbolise the potential of that 🙌
It's Lizzy's last day in the office today but she's also working at Warrington Mela on Sunday so say hello if you see her 👋
That's her last project with us (for now) but we're under no doubt that she'll go on to great things! Thank you for everything, Lizzy.
Fun fact: Before becoming a Young Producer, Lizzy's first opportunity for Culture Warrington was dressing as a giant Lego character for an event at Warrington Museum! 😁
