Happy Co-Production week! An important part of CHT’s model is beneficiaries and staff learning from one another, resulting in Co-Production being at the centre of our approach. Residents are expected to increasingly take part in community groups and work together with staff and each other to achieve a particular purpose. One of these groups is our Fundraising committee where residents and staff get the opportunity to learn about fundraising and, last week, put together two fundraising bids that will be sent out later this month. Co-Production is an invaluable process that results in services users and staff being happier and healthier as well as, most importantly, an improved overall service. Here are some pictures of what we achieved at the fundraising committee.
