Co-production

The following principles of equality, diversity, accessibility, and a lived experience are critical values for putting co-production into action. Co-production starts from the idea that no one group or person is more important than anyone else and everyone has skills, abilities, and time to contribute.

Mind in the Vale of Glamorgan is looking for volunteers with a lived experience to get involved with:

I can honestly say that without volunteering for Mind in the Vale of Glamorgan, my life would lack meaning and purpose. Being able to interact with weekly group sessions is a huge privilege for me, I have recently started co-delivering Professor Neil Frude’s ‘Activate your life’ course.

It was great to revisit the skills I used in my previous employment by participating in the Recruitment and Selection.
