Hello, I am Shar Sangster, the co-founder of Manchester’s Got Talent Youth (MGTY) and Manchester’s Got Talent communities.

As a fully qualified youth and community worker, I am deeply passionate about fostering positive change. I serve on the Independent Advisory Group (IAG) as part of the Independent Community Scrutiny Panel (ICSP), collaborating closely with Greater Manchester Police (GMP). Additionally,

I am a member of the Greater Manchester (GM) Racial Equality Panel, where I work on promoting equality within public sectors. My dedication to community health is reflected in my roles as a volunteer health champion, blood pressure champion, Connect champion, and Answer Cancer champion.

Furthermore, I am a qualified massage therapist. Balancing my professional commitments, I am also a proud single mother to my son, Zeriah. He is my equal partner in MGTY, managing the youth side while I focus on community engagement, and we support each other in our endeavors.

One of my proudest achievements was a 15,000-foot skydive to support Christie’s Hospital. This effort was a heartfelt tribute to a friend I lost suddenly and a way to thank Christie’s for their invaluable support.

Despite my numerous responsibilities, I manage to excel in my roles because of my passion for my work and the people I work with.

I am known for my professionalism and organisational skills, but I also bring a fun and energetic spirit to my work, whether it’s dancing, jumping around, hosting on stage, entertaining communities, or broadcasting on the radio. I am committed to making a lasting impact and look forward to continuing this journey with all of you.
