Co-Production Week

We’re are involved in celebrating the annual Co-production week, promoting the benefits by producing courses, Radio Shows and Blogs.

MFT Welcome Pack

We’re working alongside MFT’s staff to review and edit the “MFT Welcome pack.” This project ensures that the Welcome Pack has everything people need when registering with MFT.

Engagement Pieces

We’re asked to guide MFT on a range of engagement pieces – to make sure that the format, content and purpose are appropriate and accessible for the community we’re trying to engage!

MFT Online Offer

We have been involved with reviewing MFT’s online services as we move forward out of lockdown and guiding the Trust with ideas of how to support people as this happens.

New Advisory Group webpages

We have a sub-group working on the content for the Advisory Group webpages. This has presented an opportunity for Advisory Group members to also learn how to use design website Canva for promoting our activities!

We are involved on Mary Frances Trust’s interview panels when recruiting staff to help find the right candidate. New staff will get to meet some of us during their induction.

Megan

Delivery and Strategy Lead: Co-Production and Community Engagement (Leatherhead)

Portrait of Megan, Co-Production Lead, MFT

Megan joined MFT in January 2025 and looks after the development of our strategic priority for MFT to live and breathe co-production. She also facilitates our Advisory Group, and champions those with lived experience of mental health challenges to improve the way mental health support is developed, reviewed, and delivered.

Megan first learnt about co-production as a Lived Experience Advisor with the Independent Mental Health Network based at Surrey Coalition of Disabled People, contributing her own lived experience to mental health projects in Surrey and North East Hampshire after graduating university.

She has since worked on a range of development projects for Surrey’s mental health and wellbeing support, immersing community engagement and lived experience into research and decision-making. Additionally, she is an alumna for The King’s Fund after completing their Advanced Organisational Development Practitioner programme.

To maintain her wellbeing, Megan is an avid reader, journals, and practices Yoga.
