Evaluation of the Mental Health Funding Competition: Co-creating intersectional student mental health initiatives

Lessons from the Mental Health Funding Competition

This report, commissioned from Wavehill by the Office for Students, provides lessons on student co-creation from the first stage of the programme, which ran from August 2021 to September 2022.

This report reflects on insights from project staff and students to identify areas of effective practice for involving specific student groups in co-creation and the challenges encountered. It is intended to support higher educational professionals with developing improved strategies to diversify the groups of students involved in their existing co-creation approaches, or to support them to develop new targeted approaches.
