Futurebuilders ”to offer merger forum for charities”
Futurebuilders England has announced details of a service targeting charities.
Moves by the firm will see it post a page on its website where those third sector organisations considering merging with other bodies can leave their contact details on a forum for interested network partners to get in touch.
Gill Nunn, market development director for Futurebuilders England, tells ThirdSector.co.uk: "Part of our mentoring fund is about offering charities the funds they need to merge or collaborate.
"We would potentially be able to offer funds to charities that are interested in merging as well."
Pointing out that the initiative is an experimental service, Ms Nunn claims that the page would be extremely straightforward to set up and would only be launched once enough charities had registered their interest in the scheme.
Two charities that have joined forces in recent days are Action for Blind People and RNIB, which have entered a formal partnership seeing the former manage local services for blind people, while the latter will be in charge of nationwide service provision.
More about network partners.
