Co-Production Collective Allies Group: May meeting notes

On 8 May, 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 February 2024, take a look at the previous meeting notes.

The most recent meeting on 8 May (see notes below) was a chance to update the Allies Group members on our work and discuss items including:

• Sharing progress on our recent projects and budget, including updates on our income and on our project with People’s Voice Media on navigating anti-racism and co-production
• Providing an overview of the Reproductive Health Policy Research Unit
• Reflecting on our Impact Report 2023, and discussing ideas from it and and learning for 2024.
• Talking about UCL Engagement team development work, sharing progress up to date and sharing key opportunities to explore
