Who we are

Co Produce It CIC is not for profit company set up by five committed individuals all working on projects designed and delivered by individuals and activists in partnership with others and based on principles of co production. We all met through the Just Space network and found we had common ideas so we set up our CIC in 2024 in London.

We are committed to fostering social inclusion and community empowerment through co-production, projects, research, consultancy, and training. Our aim is to create measurable social impacts in the communities we serve by collaborating and coproducing projects with our partners.
