How we collaborate

The Importance of Collaboration

We place huge value on collaborative working in the Irish community and voluntary, charity and social enterprise sector. We value collaborative working as a way of increasing the value and impact of our work and strengthening our sector.

Collaboration in Action

We collaborate with a wide range of partners to influence policy and deliver programmes and services. Key amongst these were our wide range of national and EU-funded programmes, and our various engagements with the State, Charities Regulator and stakeholder partners within the sector.
