It was compiled in support of the NHS Five Year Forward View vision of developing a new relationship between health services and local communities. It reflects the thinking and input from the Health Foundation’s Realising the Value consortium.

This guide builds on evidence to set out a range of actions for effectively combating loneliness. The guide focuses on older people, but many of the recommendations apply to all age groups. 

This guide is one outcome from a feasibility study on establishing a time bank within Cornton Vale Prison and Young Offenders’ Institution. It aims to introduce readers to timebanking and to inform the third sector about the possibility of expanding time banks by making links with prisons. 

This paper pulls together the evidence, outcomes and key characteristics of effective co-production involving older people. It looks at the challenges and opportunities for ensuring that local services use all the assets of their local community: resources, skills, experience and talent. 

This paper examines how the NHS is changing and lays out a number of key structures that will be at the core of making the change graceful, using co-production to support the system. Timebanking is one of these systems, with a case study focused on Rushey Green Timebank on pages 25/26.

This report, published to mark the first 10 years of timebanking in Britain, looks at the lessons learned, the possibilities for the future and, perhaps most significantly, how a simple co-production mechanism is being woven into the fabric of our public services.
