about us

Nicola (Parent/Carer)

My children have attended quite a few clubs organised and run by Mako Create. They enjoy the sessions, have the chance to be creative and learn new skills. The staff that run the workshops are excellent, great with children with additional needs and make the sessions fun.

Before the start, they sent a really useful email that details location, leaders that will be present and photographs as a visual guide. This is a perfect example of their inclusivity.

John (Client)

I have had the pleasure of working with Mako Create for over a decade, funding multiple creative projects that have provided incredible opportunities for young people in Halton. Through their engaging and high-quality programmes in animation, video game design, and digital art, they have consistently delivered impactful experiences that inspire creativity and develop new skills.

Saffia (Attendee)

Just did a great photoshop workshop. Learnt so much and had a lovely time. Very new to photoshop and it has always confused me however, the team made it super digestible and enjoyable to understand. Our workshop had all ages attend and everyone had a great time!

Damo (Parent/Carer)

Absolutely fantastic session hosted by Ian Pye of Mako Create at Bury Send Hub today on lego animation. Really thoughtful, interested and caring approach to all the children and really easy to follow steps. Would definitely recommend. (Father of SEND child attendee)
