As our community continues to grow, so does the need to showcase what we're up to and the impact we're making. Our Impact Report is a way for both newcomers and long-time supporters to see what we are working on and the impact this has had. It illustrates what we have achieved against our ambitions set out in Our Direction 2020 thanks to the dedication of our community. It also introduces you to our newly co-produced strategy that was launched at the end of October 2023.
We delivered 21 co-production training sessions to 502 people across 15 organisations including 8 UCL departments and teams, 3 not for profit organisations, 1 networks/communities of practice, 1 charity, 1 university, and 1 council.
Gave 19 talks about co-production to 1482 people across 17 organisations, including 7 UCL departments and teams, 5 charities, 3 universities, 1 not for profit organisation, 1 network/community of practice, 1 research funder, and 1 public body.
Contributed to 5 research bids that have resulted in £1,179,818.54* funding being awarded to the research project teams and £86,078.27 for Co-Production Collective.
We held 11 co-creation sessions which were attended by 397 people.
12 CoPro Cuppas, 298 attendees, 35% were attending for the first time.
Following our work on the Value of Co-Production Research Project that we published in 2022, we launched the Measuring Success: Learning by Doing Programme to learn how best to evaluate co-production. As part of this project, we are funding 8 research projects, covering topics such as student mental health, eco-anxiety, and social carers’ mental health. The projects began in January 2024 and will be completed by September 2024. You can read more about the Measuring Success Programme on our webpage.
For our All about Ethics project we joined forces with UCL Engagement to explore how research ethics works in relation to co-production, public involvement and engagement within universities and beyond. After speaking to 50 people from a variety of backgrounds including co-producers, public contributors, researchers and those working in the field of ethics from outside of universities, to find out their views, we put together a Project Report and Guidance document. This report and guidance was launched in June at our ‘All about Ethics’ event which attracted 86 people and had received a lot of interest on social media.

This Impact Report is the result of working together with our community, and we would like to thank everyone who contributed to projects that are featured in the report, offered feedback, and provided testimonials.
