This report describes how three membership organisations in the voluntary sector considered the options for closer joint working and shared services
- The Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations (ACEVO),
- Charity Finance Directors' Group
- and the Institute of Fundraising.
The aims of the feasibility study were to gather information on the existing infrastructure of each organisation, identify functions where there is potential for shared services, develop options for shared services, and review the feasibility of implementing the preferred options. The emphasis was on “back-office” functions rather than core services to members, and there was never any intention that this would drift into a merger of the three organisations.
