Co-Production Collective Allies Group: February meeting notes

On 23 February, Co-production Collective’s Allies Group met to discuss key areas of our work. We’re sharing the minutes so you can catch-up with what was discussed.

The Allies Group act as Co-Production Collective's advisors and sounding board, bringing their different experiences and expertise to guide our development. We meet 3-4 times a year and they support us to make connections, identify opportunities to raise awareness of our work, and help us ensure our future sustainability.

For an introduction to each member of the group and for more information about how the group was formed and our plans for it going forward, have a read of our summary blog. To find out what the group discussed at its previous meeting in November 2023, take a look at the previous meeting notes.

The most recent meeting on 23 February (see notes below) was a chance to update the Allies Group members on our work and discuss items including:

• Sharing updates of our recent projects and budget, including progress on the Measuring Success programme
• Introducing some of our funded research projects: the LACES (London Alliance for the Co-production of Evidence Syntheses) and Policy Research Unit: Reproductive Health projects
• Discussing potential changes to our payment policy
• Talking about the UCL Engagement team development work
