This report offers a wide view of the current and potential approaches to collaborative working within the UK's VCS, with special emphasis on sharing resources and staff, back office support services and infrastructure. It examines the strengths and weaknesses of various models of shared working and considers why these approaches are becoming increasingly important for the sector.
