He works as part of an amazing team of individuals who do their best to look after people going through very difficult treatments at often very difficult times in their lives.

Episode 3
Broadcast September 18th 2026: Reflecting on health and wellbeing work that’s happening outside of institutional structures.
Guests were;
Joe Hartley, a designer and artist who has been working in Manchester since 2012. His practice spans a range of scenarios, scales and mediums, including ceramics, furniture, temporary architecture, gardening and photography. What brings these together is an enthusiastic, playful and explorative approach to materials, often used to engage communities through co-creation of work. Hartley’s approach to facilitation is energetic, open and encouraging. He creates environments where participants feel able to take risks and contribute meaningfully. His work demonstrates how design can act as a shared language, enabling people to reimagine materials, spaces and their own potential through collective action. He is currently artist-in-residence on ANEW Way to Peel an Orange, working with Castlefield Gallery, Portraits of Recovery and ANEW to embed a lasting artistic culture within substance use recovery in Tameside and beyond. A recent exhibition at Castlefield Gallery shared elements of the project with a new body of co-created work.
