A solution to the current social and economic issues facing the third sector is charity collaboration. As well as reducing costs, it can also help to increase awareness, fundraising and encourage growth and innovation for the collaborating charities. People Know How works collaboratively with partners to deliver projects. In particular, their Connect Four social innovation network can be used as an illustration of what a successful collaborative network looks like. However, there can be potential issues which present themselves, especially when charities differ in their ideas, plans and expectations. The impact of these issues can be mitigated through good communication and organisation.
