Co-Production Collective Allies Group: September 2024 meeting notes

On 9 September, 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 May 2024, take a look at the previous meeting notes.

The most recent meeting on 9 September (see notes below) was a chance to update the Allies Group members on our work and discuss items including:

• Updates on our budget and what potential new work is in the pipeline
• Progress with our projects and commissioned work, such as our work on anti-racism and the development of the UCL Public Engagement team offer for UCL
• Our presence on social media and the platforms we use, including our co-designed LinkedIn introduction training, our plans for launching an Instagram page, and exploring a Bluesky and/or Mastodon social media account
