As we wrap up 2025, the Peak team would like to say diolch yn fawr to everyone we’ve worked with this year ❤️ Thank you to the Young People we’ve collaborated with – who continue to inspire and shape Peak – and to the artists, curators and collaborators who’ve imagined, researched, shared practice and made new work. To the partners and peers we’ve loved working alongside, our brilliant colleagues, the funders who support us, and our trustees and advisors – thank you! There are far too many brilliant people to thank within the word count of an Instagram post, so please scroll through... ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Wrth i ni agosáu at ddiwedd y flwyddyn, hoffai tîm Peak ddiolch yn fawr i bawb rydyn ni wedi gweithio gyda nhw eleni ❤️ Diolch i’r Bobl Ifanc rydyn ni wedi cydweithio â nhw – sy’n parhau i ysbrydoli a siapio gwaith Peak – ac i’r artistiaid, curaduron a chydweithredwyr sydd wedi dychmygu, ymchwilio, rhannu arferion a chreu gwaith newydd. Diolch i’r partneriaid a’r cyfoedion rydyn ni wedi mwynhau gweithio ochr yn ochr â nhw, ein cydweithwyr gwych, y cyllidwyr sy’n ein cefnogi, a’n hymddiriedolwyr a’n cynghorwyr – diolch i chi gyd! Mae gormod o bobl wych i ddiolch iddyn nhw o fewn nifer y geiriau a ganiateir ar neges Instagram, felly sgroliwch draw i weld... Tîm Peak – Ellen, Louise, Melissa a Polly
