Our partners

We believe passionately in working, wherever possible, in partnership with others. This enhances what we can achieve for trustees and also uses our resources and those of our partners as effectively as possible. Our experience shows that this way of working:

• broadens our reach and therefore increases our impact
• ensures efficiency and effectiveness through co-ordination and collaboration, rather than duplication

Our relationships with other organisations vary from affiliations with other organisations through to formal contractual partnerships - both with private sector and third sector organisations.

The most common model of trustee network is that it is run or hosted by an infrastructure organisation - with whom we work to offer support and advice. We are very grateful to these organisations and their staff for all the work they do to support trustees.
