There is already a wealth of
information on mergers available on the internet and within
publications from third sector agencies. The
information sources on mergers document (Word, 133KB) is
available to download which provides signposting information to
local support and development organisations (LSDOs) contemplating
mergers.
The case study, 'Anatomy of
a merger' gives an overview of the merger that took place to
create Cumbria Council for Voluntary Service.
The
Warwickshire CAVA case study from Capacitybuilders' Improving
Support, describes the merger of four CVS and two Volunteer Centres
to create Warwickshire CAVA.
NAVCA can support members with collaborative work or a merger, see
the
working together
section of the organisational development page.
