Hand in Hand Partnership Toolkit - Workbook with Templates

Partnerships and collaboration done well can be a game changer for any organisation or business. But what does this mean and how does this look like in practice?

The Big Red Kick champions a user-first approach to working with others. It's about asking the crucial question: "Is this partnership truly in the best interests of the people we serve?"

This toolkit explores how a user-first approach can build healthy, impactful partnerships that genuinely benefits the communities supported by grassroots micro-organisations. The toolkit comes in two parts - a 25 page pdf workbook outlining the importance of community development, why it matters to work with others and some case studies backed by some evidence of research. It also breaks down difference types of partnership working and what this could mean for formal or informal partnerships.

The workbook is supported with templates in Microsoft Word that can be customised to set up formal partnership agreements.

With this toolkit you would be able to:

• Push past trust issues of being let down in a partnership venture.
• Be clear about what you bring to the table.
• Reduce misunderstandings and assumptions that can derail a joint venture.
• Ensure your values are aligned between your service users and partners.
