Stepping Forward into Partnership for a Purpose

If your Community Group, Voluntary Organisation or Social Enterprise is pursuing a particular objective such as establishing a new project or takin on new premises, it can often be advantageous to do this in partnership with other organisations who have similar goals. A partnership for a purpose can benefit all the partners and the communities who will engage with the new project, facility or services.

In this interactive session facilitated , the following questions will be explored:

• What is a partnership and how does it work?
• What are the building blocks for a successful partnership?
• What are the advantages of partnering for a particular purpose?
• What are the goals and issues when partnering to develop a new project or service?
• What are the goals and issues when partnering to develop a new facility?
• What monitoring systems should be put in place to monitor progress?
• What causes partnership breakdowns and how can this be managed?
• How can a “win-win” outcome be achieved for all partners and service users?
