On 10 February 2026, our Allies Group came together once again to talk about some of the important work we’re doing at Co-Production Collective. We’re sharing a summary of the meeting so you can stay in the loop and see what was discussed.
What is the Allies Group?
The Allies Group is a team of trusted supporters who give us advice and share their experiences to help us grow and improve. They meet with us three or four times a year. Their role is to:
- Help us build new connections
- Spot new opportunities to share our work more widely
- Support us to keep going strong in the future
You can find out more about our Allies Group and read notes from previous meetings and related blogs on the Our people page under the section on 'Our team' towards the bottom of the page.
What happened at the latest meeting?
At the most recent meeting on 10 February, we updated the Allies on what we’ve been working on recently, including an project with Croydon Council, our anti-racism work and our plans for reviewing our strategy Our Direction 2023-2028.
We also had a discussion about how we can better collaborate across our Global Majority led Anti-Racism Working Group (that you can read about on our Anti-racism project page), our Safeguarding & Safe Spaces Oversight group (that was set up to support the support the governance of the Safeguarding and Safe Spaces in Co-production Statement and will review the nature and responses made of all safeguarding reports every 6 months. (You can read more about this in Appendix E of our Safeguarding and Safe Spaces for Co-Production Statement) and our Allies Group.
