Pentagon Partnership is offering a programme of low-cost support to organisations interested in exploring collaboration, consortium development and other forms of partnership working.
Working in partnership with other organisations can help you save money, provide a better service and work more efficiently. You can collaborate in many ways – from sharing office space to bidding together for contracts. Partnership working can strengthen your organisation, broaden your horizons, and give you new skills and knowledge. Pentagon Partnership's new programme offers support to third sector, social enterprise and private sector organisations thinking about collaboration.
Pentagon Partnership is a strategic consortium for Tyne and Wear's voluntary community and social enterprise sector and has a track record of successfully supporting collaboration within the sector.
The programme offers:
Advice - a free exploratory meeting either with a lone organisation or with two or more prospective partners.
Workshops - bringing together potential partners, the 'introduction to collaboration' workshops are designed to explore the possibilities of collaboration and consortium working. They outline the various collaborative working models and work with the potential consortium to identify those that are appropriate to their needs.
Development Work - a development package supporting organisations to develop appropriate partnership structures, work well together, and if necessary, develop their first joint funding application. This support can be in person, or via email or telephone conversation.
The price for this service starts at £250 per day. For a confidential conversation about your requirements and the terms contact Lynne Craggs on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call 0191 643 2633.
