How and why did these partners come together, both at a time of change, to develop a long-term strategic partnership? What were the challenges? How is value assessed? What are the tactics for making big strategic partnerships a reality rather than just a fairy tale for small charities? Jemma Guerrier, Deputy Director of Development, YouthNet Alison Gardner, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, Capital One Managing corporate partnerships Taking a risk Belu and WaterAid: Taking risks and building a new partnership approach.

However, it hasn t been without its challenges along the way. With a current commitment through to 2020, what has been learnt and what is the potential for the future?

5 15.45 Breaking down silos Shine took the decision to merge the Community & Events and Marketing & Communications teams into the Marketing & Events team. This move has led to increased efficiency, better communications, a more professional standard across these work areas, and an increase in income. By integrating more areas of work into the team since then, such as In Mem, Corporate, Regular Giving, and Mailings, they are building an incredibly strong foundation with which to expand our work in the coming years. Tom Scott, Marketing & Events Manager, Shine Case study: Evolution of strategic partnerships Launched in November 2012, the two year national charities partnership with Action for Literacy (an alliance between the National Literacy Trust and Dyslexia Action) and Shelter aims to help 8,300 young people access better literacy provision, and to keep 2,100 families secure in their homes.
