When people work together in a co-production approach, they build stronger relationships. This can lead to a more cohesive and supportive community.
Who We Are
The Jewellery Collective steering group use a co-production approach, which means working together as equals and making the best use of our strengths to find ways of doing things that benefit everyone. This is about recognising and using everyone's diverse knowledge, experience, and perspective. This ensures that the project is community-led and that the needs of the community are met.
