Getting started with collaboration: A framework for joint action

In spite of unprecedented levels of policy-driven interest in collaborative working involving voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs), we know from our work that individuals and organisations can experience practical difficulties when trying to work collaboratively with others – particularly when that work crosses sector, as well as organisational, boundaries.

This framework is for individuals and organisations who are setting out on new collaborative ventures. It draws from our back catalogue of work, including Thinking about… collaboration, Working in Place: Collaborative funding in practice and Building Health Partnerships.
