With the economic pressures bearing on the sector many not for profit organisations are considering merging or working in partnership with other bodies.

Pro Active Resolutions is affirming its commitment to the sector by working with a consortium of similar organisations to create a simple one stop web site covering everything from the governance implications of merging charities to the IT and PR repercussions – www.fusionthirdsector.co.uk

Creating an archive of links to all the best advice and information online, the Fusion Third Sector site is an essential first point of call for any organisation considering merging or partnership working.

The site includes sections on;
