Home » Resource hub »
On 18th June 2018, NPC and The Clothworkers’ Company held a seminar to discuss how mergers can help charities achieve more impact for their beneficiaries. This paper summarises advice and recommendations from the panel.
This paper explores the following:
- Why should trustees care about mergers?
- What are the potential benefits of mergers?
- What different kinds of mergers are there?
- What are the barriers to mergers?
- What would encourage more charities to merge?
A merger must increase (a charity’s) impact. If it doesn’t, don’t do it.
