THE benefits of partnership will be in the spotlight at a special event being held in Okehampton next Thursday.
The lunchtime event is being organised by Business in the Community, a national organisation which helps businesses give back to the communities in which they are situated.
Community groups and not-for-profit organisations will be getting together at the Ockment Centre to learn about the Partners in Leadership programme, which matches managers from businesses with the leaders of not-for-profit groups. The partners then work together for a year to address business issues, such as planning, management and leadership.
The event is being organised in conjunction with the Council for Voluntary Services in Okehampton, based at the Ockment Centre.
Any groups or businesses who would like to get involved or attend the event on May 13 should call Rebecca Rickard at Business in the Community on 01392 421740.
