How we came to be
This all started back in 2012 as a voluntary endeavour by two women at a kitchen table. Along the way we carried out research, organised events, campaigned to influence legislation, and started delivering training and consultancy. We became a Big Lottery funded project (2016-2019), which enabled us to formally set up the Network and its infrastructure. Now we’re an independent not-for-profit organisation, supporting an ever growing community of members, and collectively working to transform public services.
Who we are: the members of the Network!
Over 600 members from across sectors and across Wales (and some from wider afield!), joining forces to further the co-production agenda. Find your tribe and join the Network to connect with other members.
Who we are: the patrons of the Network

Who we are: the core team
