Nillumbik Gives - Community and Business Partnership Resource Centre Welcome to the Resource Centre for the Community and Business Partnerships Brokerage Service. There is a wealth of free information, resources and services to help you - whether you are a business or a community group. Help Sheets We have developed a series of practical, no-nonsense help sheets for business and community groups, taking you through the main steps of initiating, nurturing and expanding your community business partnerships. The help sheets are not the complete guide to community business partnerships but they do provide a great starting point for businesses and community groups that are interested in getting involved in a partnership or are already involved in one and are looking to improve it. We have divided the Help Sheets into five sections: Help Sheets Part 1 - Before you get started in a partnership Help Sheets Part 2 - Now you're involved ina partnership Help Sheets Part 3 - If things go wrong with your partnership Help Sheets Part 4 - Ending a Partnership Help Sheets Part 5 - General Resources Keep an eye on the Resource Centre as we will be adding more Help Sheets each week to this ever-expanding resource centre. Back to top Case Studies Community Business Case Studies We have also brought together a number of Case Studies which represent some best practice examples of community business partnerships and exactly what it was that made these collaborations so successful. We will continue to bring you best practice case studies of community and business partnerships.
