"I joined Our Voice because co-production is a radical way of working which is empowering for those who use services. It is the best way of working for everyone."

Join a listening space
Come along to a listening space and share your experiences of adult social care. Find out about our last listening space events on our Big Conversation web page
"I attended a listening space with a Service Director after a number of carers had raised concerns over the approach that would be taken to highlight carer's issues in the future. We discussed our experience and focused on our ideas for improving things. I then got involved in developing Carers Space Notts, which I hope will mean more carers feel listened to and able to get involved in issues that matter to them, giving them an equal say in shaping how things work in the future."

Join a project
Get involved in or share your thoughts about one of our co-production projects.
"I joined a project to make the council's information about direct payments easier for everyone to understand as it wasn't. I worked with staff and other people designing new factsheets and a webpage. I felt my opinions were heard and taken on board, and I learnt a lot too. Now I feel very empowered and want to do more."
Ami (person with lived experience)
Join Carers Space Notts
Carers Space Notts co-design information sessions for carers, share information about things that are happening across the county for carers and how you can get involved. Read about how they started on our stories page.
“My mum really enjoyed your information session because it was virtual and she could see people who she believed were talking directly to her instead of her reading from a leaflet.”
