In 2023, we commissioned the poet Ella Frears to provide a creative response to the government's mission to "restore pride in place" across the UK, as a part of its levelling up agenda.

 

Ella wrote the following poem, "How Proud?"

​

We then collaborated with the award-winning director Annlin Chao to visually reimagine Ella's work.

​

It resulted in this animated film.
