Partnering for Cross-Border Collaboration, 24 November 2026

24 Nov 2026
Belfast
10:00 am - 1:30 pm

Join us in Belfast for the launch of the Shared Island Partnership Building Toolkit. Unlock funding opportunities and cross-border partnerships!

While strong North–South cooperation projects exist, many organisations in our sector face barriers including limited connections, complex jurisdictional differences, and lack of practical guidance to getting started. The Wheel’s Shared Purpose initiative is working to address these gaps by providing accessible tools, shared learning spaces, and opportunities to build partnerships. Join us for this special event featuring the launch of our Shared Island Partnership Building Toolkit. 

This half-day event will also include: 

  • An inspiring panel spotlighting cross-border collaboration success stories 
  • A facilitated partnership building session 
  • A funder showcase highlighting key agencies and programmes supporting shared island work 
  • Networking lunch.

 Whether you’re from a charity, community group, or social enterprise, this event offers the chance to connect, learn, and unlock new opportunities for shared impact.
