PARTNERSHIPS / SHARED ACTION

Let’s make something useful happen.

You understand your community, organisation or challenge. We bring experience of engagement, capacity building, project development and connecting people around practical action.

There isn’t one way to work together.

Community groups

Develop a clearer plan, strengthen governance, build confidence, explore funding or turn a local idea into practical activity.

Public and voluntary services

Improve participation, reach people whose voices are less often heard, co-design responses or coordinate delivery across partners.

Businesses and funders

Support locally meaningful projects through skills, funding, sponsorship, resources or collaborations with clear outcomes.

What a collaboration can look like

01 — Understand

Explore the challenge, existing strengths, who should be involved and whether ACE is the right partner.

02 — Shape

Agree the approach, responsibilities, scope, resources, safeguarding and intended change.

03 — Deliver and learn

Put plans into practice, listen to participants and evaluate what changes, not just what happened.

Useful, accountable partnerships.

We will be clear about costs, funding, responsibilities and what each partner contributes. We aim to avoid duplication, use proportionate monitoring and give proper credit to the people and organisations involved.
