Collaboration Benefits was one of the National Support Services, funded by Capacitybuilders, which ran until April 2011.
The programme was run by a partnership, led by bassac (now merged into Locality). The other national partners were ACRE, Community Foundations Network (CFN) and the Institute for Voluntary Action Research (IVAR).
The overall function of the programme was to provide awareness-raising, resource material and training in facilitating collaboration. It also supported a number of individual clusters of organisations wishing to benefit from joint working.
ACRE's strand of the programme was supported by Programme Associates from five RCAN Members (in Berkshire, Nottinghamshire, Northumberland, Shropshire and Wiltshire).
The programme has now finished. For further details please contact the ACRE programme manager, Helen Mardell - h.mardell@acre.org.uk
