GM VCSE Assembly: Co-Production Network

“Doing with, and not to, is a fundamental tenet of the Greater Manchester approach. Trust people. Build a relationship with them.” Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester

Building relationships, addressing power imbalances and making decisions collaboratively can be challenging, messy and time-consuming, but we know it’s the only way we are going to build solutions which really work for people and communities.

The GM Co-production Network is for statutory, voluntary sector and people with lived experience to come together, learn and share skills around co-production.

We will:

• Hear from projects doing great things, including what went wrong along the way and the things they have learnt

• Join workshops requested and led by network members on:
  • Co-production with children and young people

  • Commissioning for co-production

  • Co-production clinic – action learning and peer support

There will also be space during the event to meet people facing similar challenges, explore opportunities and share your ideas and experiences.
