Details

Commission research has shown that charities who work together can bring a wide range of benefits to themselves and their beneficiaries.

Of the charities surveyed, over a third recorded an improvement with their service delivery following a merger. The most common reasons for merging with another charity are:

• to increase efficiency
• to rescue a charity in difficulty
• to prevent duplication and improve services
