Co-production Network for Wales

Who we are

We’re a community of people who believe in the value of co-production and citizen involvement. 

We’re a small non-profit, but what we do makes a difference across the Welsh public services landscape. We are funded by our members, grant funders, and our own consultancy and training activity. 

Our aim is to transform public services through co-production and citizen involvement. When citizens and professionals work in partnership, services are improved and better meet people’s needs, and communities grow in resilience. In the current landscape of dwindling public resources and increasing demand, co-production and citizen involvement offer a compelling approach to bringing positive, sustainable change to public services and communities. 

Our remit is to grow good practice through our network of citizen and professional practitioner members from across sectors and across Wales. We create and facilitate online spaces and participative events which focus on learning, sharing, and turning conversation into informed action. We offer capability building through training, advice and consultancy, in both strategic and delivery organisations. We support policy and decision makers to shape a positive context for this work across public services and communities. In a nutshell, we bring together people with a common vision: that of a fairer and more sustainable Wales where everyone has a voice.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are committed to building a more diverse and inclusive team.
We recognise that our current staff team does not yet reflect the diversity of the communities we work alongside, and we are actively working to change this.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, and we particularly encourage interest from people who are under‑represented in our organisation and in the wider social change sector — including Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people, and people with lived experience relevant to our work.

If you would like to discuss reasonable adjustments or ways we can support your application, please contact us.
