#DoWith North West
#DoWith North West is a half-day event hosted by Voluntary Sector North West and The King’s Fund, designed to gather real thoughts, experiences and ideas on how we move from talking about co-production to truly doing it.
Voluntary Sector North West and The King’s Fund are bringing people together from the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector, public services, researchers, lived experience networks and beyond, to explore: how do we shift to a real ‘Do With’ approach, not just in theory, but in practice?
