"As a neurodivergent researcher and advocate, I deeply value my involvement with Co-Production Collective. The Collective doesn’t just listen to those with lived experiences; it actively integrates our insights into its core work, embodying true co-production. Learning from/with the Collective has been instrumental in refining my approach to co-production."

"My engagement with the Collective came at a time when I was feeling isolated and at times muted in terms of working with organisations and researchers to enhance service provision. The values and ethics of the Collective meant that I found a space I can meet with others who share the same mindset and where I feel safe to explore without judgement."

"It is incredibly important that we tackle racial health inequalities and strengthen and balance the relationship between communities, health and care professionals. Through a series of workshops, Co-Production Collective have supported the London Association of Directors of Public Health developing culturally sensitive services that align with community needs and support anti racist practices in public health."

"Working with organisations, institutions and individuals from very different backgrounds and in many languages and being able to form a relationship of trust by having not a hierarchical but a horizontal and circular method of communication and collaboration, made for a rich and authentic exchange of knowledge and information. "

"I first got in touch with Co-Production Collective as I was struggling to find organisations that shared similar values and approaches to work that I do. The thing that I value, is the sense of purpose and commitment to putting people front and centre. I’ve already learnt a great deal about how to get co-production ‘right’!"

"I first got involved during lockdown, and since my involvement I have not turned back. Gradually, I built confidence and have been able to connect with some beautiful hearted, selfless people. The greatest aspect that I value is the support and the mutual respect and understanding when making decisions."

"The idea for the Collective began life as just a few words on paper. Now it is a living, breathing, exciting venture. By challenging assumptions and supporting people to work differently I believe it is playing a vital role in helping us tackle some of society’s biggest health challenges from a fresh perspective."

"As a carer for my son, who has Cystic Fibrosis, I became aware that health and social care provision was system moulded rather than person-centred. I was on the hunt for genuine collaborative working. For the first 3 years I found a few crumbs and the occasional nugget. Then I discovered the Collective – I had arrived!"
