Reflections on listening, co-design and implementation in Wigan with AllChild

  • 6 November 2025

As AllChild’s learning partner, Coram has captured key insights from the launch of AllChild’s first Impact Programme outside London, in Wigan.

In this blog, we share our early findings about the listening, co-design, set-up, and implementation stages of the programme, highlighting the key learnings that will guide AllChild’s ongoing work in Wigan and shape its approach in other potential new areas. This piece is particularly relevant for local authorities, school leaders, policy makers, and community organisations interested in place-based and community-driven approaches to improving outcomes for children and families.
