Researching together.
Nothing about us without us.

Welcome to the Living Life to the Fullest Co-Production Toolkit

Working in partnership with disabled children and young people labelled with life-limiting or life-threatening impairments (hereby LL/LTIs) and their allies, the Living Life to the Fullest project aimed to explore the lives, hopes, desires and contributions of disabled children and young people. Living Life to the Fullest was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.

This toolkit details how we, as a project team made up of academics, researchers, charities and disabled people’s organisations, and a Co-Researcher Collective of disabled young people living with LL/LTIs, carried out a co-produced arts-informed research project that centred the lives of disabled children and young people and their families.
