Mind's co-produced project
Mind is the largest mental health charity in England and Wales and we seek to involve people with mental health problems in shaping our work at every level from the services we provide to strategy development. We identified from demographic data that the diversity of reach in our involvement work needed to improve. A typical profile of someone involved was white, female, university-educated and aged 45 to 54. This co-produced project looked at how to diversify who Mind involves in our lived experience work, specifically looking at Black, Asian and minority ethnic (racialised) communities and at opportunities to maximise the influence of people with lived experience. We involved Mind staff and board members, and recruited an external project lead and six advisors, to add insights and to work together to find solutions. (Edited publisher abstract)
Disability Rights UK’s project
Get Yourself Active is a programme funded by Sport England and led by Disability Rights UK. We work tirelessly to increase Disabled people's participation in sport and physical activity, so that everyone can experience its benefits. We have been working alongside Durham University on a fully co-produced project called Moving Social Work. Our research has shown that social workers are essential and trusted messengers to the people they support. However at present, no standardised education or training for social workers on how to promote physical activity exists. The Moving Social Work programme aims to create the first resources to educate people doing a social work degree, as well as provide post-qualified social workers with the tools to promote physical activity to and for Disabled people. Ultimately, the more social workers understand the importance of physical activity, the better placed they are to support a Disabled person in leading a more active and fulfilling life.

Healthwatch Suffolk's project
Healthwatch Suffolk's project encourages co-production between local people and organisations. The types of support we provide have always been steered by our conversations with the growing network of learning co-producers, at all stages of service design and development. Here are some examples: a co-production network of contacts - we regularly share the latest news, opportunities and resources; a training workshop, co-facilitated with our Ambassadors, offering both introductory and more in-depth interactive sessions; a literature review exploring the value of co-production, for people who use services, communities and organisations, as well as the value societally and financially.

Co-production project in the South Wales Valleys
Dr Liz Jones of the Awen Institute, Centre for Innovative Ageing and Professor Alan Dix, Director of the Computational Foundry at Swansea University, have been working with a community in the village of Troedrhiwfuwch, in the Upper Rhymney Valley in South Wales, to explore and organise their historical archive, and develop digital technologies through co-production methods. The aim is to preserve the historic legacy of the village for future generations. Most of the village structure was demolished by 1985, in the wake of a survey indicating that there was a danger of a landslide. Today, only two houses, and the war memorial and garden, remain as a sign of the place that once was. The project team are working with the community to gather and organise information, and to digitise it. The youngest members of the community who have a living memory of the village are in their fifties and many of the remaining community are now in their eighties and nineties, so these accounts are fragile and need to be gathered before they are lost forever.
