The latest in our collaborative film series made with the Elephants Trail in Rochdale is out. On people's experiences of the benefits system. As one contributor says "it's helped me, but it's also helped to ruin me" youtube.com/watch?v=6L0vlt…

Watch: moving film about precarious work and benefits. So proud of Elephants Trail team for latest in our Made in Britain series. Each one is a collab between people with lived experience and The Guardian (Maeve Shearlaw) youtu.be/6L0vlt_sJ1c?si…

Most of us will need help and support at some point in our lives. Our benefits system has been a lifeline for so many, but we saw how a system that was intended to help had started hurting people we love and care about. We made this film for them. theguardian.com/uk-news/video/…

We want to use film to magnify the stories that matter most in our communities. We are really grateful to the The Guardian for giving us the opportunity to work with them to create this film about the benefits system and how it is impacting those we love. youtu.be/6L0vlt_sJ1c?si…

Are Northern Leaders Innovative Enough?” This was the question posed to me and others on my panel at last week’s #PeoplesPowerhouse summit. As I sat on the steps of the wonderful Black-E to prepare some thoughts the following poem developed in the sun. 👇 What is the North?
