Charities form network partner links
Those working for a number of charities have revealed how they forged links as network partners at this year’’s political party conferences.
Moves by Mencap, Age Concern England and Scope have seen the third sector bodies host joint fringe events at the conventions held by Britain’’s main political parties - Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats, ThirdSector.co.uk reports.
As such, the venture will set each of the third sector organisations involved back by £4,000.
However, if each charity did this individually it would cost them about £12,000.
Lucy Hannigan, a Mencap press officer, said: "A combined voice is much stronger than a single one and there are financial benefits because we can share resources."
Meanwhile, Suzanne Stevenson, press manager for Scope, claimed that by operating as network partners the charities will be able to raise awareness of their claims the social care system is in need of change.
In other news, Can last month advised charities to pool together their IT sources.
