An Eastside initiative, Partner-Up has recently been launched with a presentation from Nick Hurd, Minister for Civil Society, who welcomed the new network service which will promote opportunities for mergers and collaboration for the sector. 3SC is a partner in the new scheme which is an independent online market place where charities, social enterprises and housing associations can explore partnership and collaboration options safely and receive support in making decisions around how and with which organisations to connect with.
Partner-Up is now open to organisations to register their interest for free at www.partner-up.org or contact alex@partner-up.org 020 7250 8440. Professional support is provided to members through a network of partners: BWB, Primetimers, Eversheds, 3SC and Social Enterprise UK.
