So many proposed charity mergers fail to happen, resulting in nothing but staff distress, reduced output and time wasted.

Lesley-Anne Alexander, Chief Executive of Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), talks about how they have come up with a new way of joint working, which achieves the benefits of merger, without the high risks of traditional voluntary sector merger processes.

In these podcasts, Lesley-Anne shares her views on joint working in the voluntary sector. Stuart Etherington, Chief Executive of NCVO, gives his comments on how the voluntary sector might be affected by this drive to merge or share services.
