Salford Voices l Episode 2 l Salford's Got the Good Stuff

In this episode we ask, what could Salford look like if we chose to centre the health and happiness of residents above all else? Taking inspiration from the city’s motto, which translates to ‘The welfare of the people is the highest law’, Art with Heart partnered writers Ben Mellor and Izzy Coward with men’s mental health group Talk About It Mate to create a poem and imaginary news broadcast from Salford in 2126.

This is Salford's story told by Salford

2026 marks 100 years since Salford was officially granted city status, and Art with Heart are on a mission to capture what it truly means to be from Salford, putting Salfordians firmly at the heart of the centenary celebrations. To celebrate Salford’s big birthday, we teamed up with local artists and communities across the city to share stories from the past and present and to listen to what people hope the next 100 years will bring.
