HACT'S role
HACT's role |
HACT helped each of the four clusters with
- facilitation and practical help with working through some of the issues involved in developing a detailed resource-sharing plan;
- a budget of £15,000 to be spent on implementing the goals that had been identified in the plan.
In exchange, all participating organisations contributed to an evaluation and facilitated learning process between the clusters.
All of the participating organisations receive funding through the Supporting People programme.
Collaborate 2 was funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government. HACT worked with lead consultant Alan Cripps and a team of his colleagues to support the partnerships and to develop this microsite and accompanying downloads.
An evaluation of the project is also being published to capture wider lessons about collaboration, resource sharing and capacity-building.
Colaborate 2 was developed using the insights from the first Collaborate project, which explored ways in which smaller Supporting People providers could tender for new contracts collaboratively.
