A new group is bringing together people from the NHS, local councils, universities and voluntary and community organisations to explore how we can work more closely with residents to design better services and support.

This approach is called co-production – simply put, it means working with people, rather than making decisions for them. The group is an opportunity to share ideas, learn from each other and explore practical ways to give communities a stronger voice in decisions that affect their lives.

Everyone is welcome, whether you’re already involved in this work or simply interested in learning more.

Join the first online meeting:

Monday 23 November 2026

1pm–2pm

Online via Microsoft Teams

The first session will introduce the group and share a real example of how people with experience of homelessness are helping shape local services and strategies.
