Collaboration

Welcome to the collaboration workstream

We believe that by collaborating effectively we can challenge the resources and power inequalities facing our sector. Our vision is for all third sector organisations to have the skills and capacity to take advantage of opportunities for collaborative working where they are appropriate, add value and/or lead to greater sustainability.

By working together and sharing information, skills and best practice, third sector organisations and their supporters can lift their achievements to a new level.

Our aims

We seek to support and facilitate all forms of mutually-beneficial, evidence-based collaborative working within the voluntary and community sector and with other sectors.

What problems do we want to solve?

Currently it can be challenging for organisations, especially for smaller, neighbourhood ones, to find ways of collaborating with others or to know how to identify potential partners. They need support to help them maximise their chances for collaborative working. Third sector support organisations themselves need to build their capacity, both individually and collaboratively, so that they can cascade the required support to frontline organisations. Our workstream seeks to encourage and enable collaborative working at all levels in the third sector and with partners in other sectors.
