Getting ready for collaboration

Learning from experience

Written in June 2010 by: Sam Brier and Jane Harris, Mariana Bogdanova

Getting ready for collaboration is aimed at helping staff, trustees and volunteers from voluntary organisations to:

• make an informed choice about whether and how to work in collaboration with another voluntary organisation
• think carefully and thoroughly about the process of working in collaboration, so that any possible change to your organisation can be safe, inclusive and cause minimum disruption
• become more aware of the practical implications and requirements of collaborative working.
