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.
