Collaborative Working

Collaborative working describes joint working by two or more organisations in order to better fulfill their purposes, while remaining as separate organisations.

This may relate to any aspect of the charities’ activity, including administration, fundraising, resource sharing, streamlining costs, campaigning and service delivery. Charities can collaborate in a variety of ways, ranging from very informal agreements to large scale contracts. The arrangements can last for a fixed period or be permanent. 

Below are some resources and toolkits you might find useful if you are looking to work collaboratively. This page will be regularly updated with information on partnership working.

For further information on how CommUNITY Barnet can assist your organisation with collaboration and partnership working please email our Group Support Officer Victor.Momodu@CommUNITYBarnet.org.uk

For more information on collaborative working and how it could apply to your organisation please see our Collaborative Working: A CommUNITY Barnet Toolkit
