A partnership can be a formal grouping of independent groups, fronted by a lead organisation, or it can be a specially constituted consortium. The purpose of requiring delivery by partnerships is to:

• ensure that people who can benefit from the activities provided receive them in a way that is holistic and “joined-up”
• enable partner organisations to share expertise
• ensure that people can access and participate in a menu of activities and support actions that is flexible to their individual needs
• improve the effectiveness of referrals between community groups and between community groups and statutory agencies
