Co-production is a term increasingly used in the work of challenging poverty, in the areas of services, product development, and research and policy. However, its application varies; and some commentators have suggested that it may be useful to approach co-production as a set of key principles rather than trying to define it.

We are inviting community members, funders, service providers, businesses, researchers, campaigners and policy makers to share learning of co-producing solutions to poverty, and co-design principles together. These co-designed key principles and good practices will then be written up and shared as a resource that will be shared publicly.

Confirmed speakers:

- Debbie Weekes-Bernard (Deputy Mayor for London)

- James Banks (Chief Executive, London Funders)

- Toynbee Hall Community Members

- Matthew Walsham (Partnership for Young London)

- The Commission on Social Security with Experts by Experience, Trust for London and Dr Kate Summers, Fellow in Qualitative Methodology, LSE.

- Josh Babarinde (Cracked It)
