Partnership
We cannot achieve our mission in isolation, and we place partnership at the heart of what we do.
We define partnership as a mutually beneficial and interactive relationship between two or more organisations. A partnership is built for a specific purpose and works towards a shared goal of positive and sustainable impact. Partnership allows us to combine our resources and expertise with our partners’, meaning that we can work more effectively – and achieve more – than we would if working individually. By building partnerships, we are able to increase, develop and broaden our impact and progress towards our mission.
A partner is an organisation we work with for a specific purpose and impact. Through working together, they help us achieve our mission, as we help them achieve theirs. We share values. We share skills, knowledge and expertise.
