Co-Production through your eyes: Photo competition!🌼
This summer, families, carers, and young people with SEND across East Riding are invited to help bring our refreshed Local Area Partnership Co-Production Charter to life, through your eyes!
📸 What’s It all about? We’ve designed a vibrant flower to represent our shared co-production values, with trust at its heart. Now, we’re looking for a real-life image to sit proudly at the centre, an image that reflects the lived experiences of children, young people, and families with SEND.
Share a photo that captures the spirit of co-production: collaboration, inclusion, togetherness, or simply a meaningful moment from your summer.
The winning photo will be featured at the heart of our updated Co-Production Charter and receive a small prize as a thank you. With your permission, your image will help us celebrate real voices and real experiences.
🗓️ Deadline to enter: Sunday, 31 August 2025
📩 Send your entry to: localoffer@eastriding.gov.uk Include your photo and an optional short caption or description.
💬 Why it matters: Our Co-Production Charter was shaped by a wide range of voices working together to make positive change. Now, we want to reflect that same spirit in the imagery we use, real people, real stories, real impact.
We believe that co-production is not just a principle it’s a partnership. Your stories and images help bring this to life.
We can’t wait to share the finalised version of our Co-Production Charter with you soon!
