The authors draw from materials and case studies from a large ESRC funded project: Imagine – connecting communities through research. The book offers a unique approach that is practice led, and locates values and knowledge within communities. Bringing community development together with co-production offers a fruitful lens from which to view co-production as an active process that works with knowledge within communities. It does not presuppose an existing rubric or way of doing things but offers an open opportunity for communities to get involved in setting the agenda. The book will be useful for practitioners within community contexts, researchers interested in working with communities, activists, community artists and anybody wanting to make a difference. It aims to reach policy makers by describing in clear and accessible language what co-production between community groups and academics can do to improve things. Community groups recognize that they are not passive recipients of knowledge but agents of change. This book shows how that change can come about through a community development approach to co-production.

All the chapters are co-written by community partners and researchers, giving unique perspectives into the problems and rewards of partnership. It advises on ways to generate relevant knowledge and apply scholarship to practice, and deals with universities' role in relation to business and to community organisations. Loaded with theoretical and practical insights, this is a good practice guide and a community practitioner text.

The Child Welfare Inequalities project (Bywaters et al, 2016) has found that children in the most deprived ten per cent of neighbourhoods in the UK are at least ten times more likely to be in care than children in the least deprived ten per cent, and 24 times more likely to be on a child protection register. This briefing seeks to build practice approaches to building resilience in the context of the social deprivation that is the experience of these families. It introduces a Resilience Framework andTool (www.boingboing.org.uk/index.php/resources/category/9-resilienceframeworks) developed by Angie Hart and collaborators at boingboing, a learning community of researchers, practitioners, students, parent carers and young people, who share a passion to tackle the problems that affect the most under-resourced children and families.

When it comes to helping people experiencing mental distress, it would be a callous society that stood back and offered them nothing on the presumption that, as Charles Waldegrave points out, therapy is little more than making poor people feel a bit better about themselves (2). Perhaps the problem however is not with therapy per se but with what therapy has become. The therapeutic relationship, when understood as an instance of ordinary humanity and as a source of solidarity can be eminently valuable. When it is treated as a technology of change with a progressive emphasis on what’s inside people’s heads, and that culminates in people becoming patients schooled to bear responsibility for circumstances beyond their control, then it loses its value (1). If we pare back the therapeutic process to understand Roger’s unconditional positive regard and empathy not as tools to achieve change but as an end in and of themselves, and where compassion rather than change becomes the overriding impulse, it allows us to see just how many other sites of social solidarity, compassion and humanity can be understood within this broader care framework. This is because empathy, support, positive regard and compassion can be delivered in most places, by most people.

James, stinking to high heaven, stands on the cliff edge, his eyes fixed on a boat far out to sea. He’s about to step out. He can see a bridge that leads to his personal pirate ship. He shouts back to a woman begging him to stay put. ‘Don’t worry, it’s all going to be okay mum .’
