We've always worked hard to develop partnerships with organisations from all sectors whose activity complements our own work around training, research and consultancy.
We are delighted to work with Britvic GB, and Provide CIC, both of whom provide bursary funding for our Charity and Social Enterprise Management course.
ARU was a founder member of Social Enterprise East of England (SEEE), the network organisation for the region. We recognise SEEE's important strategic role in raising awareness of social enterprise and its innovative approach to meeting its members' training needs, and have sponsored the network for the last two years.
Since 2006, we have worked closely with Voluntary Sector Training (VST), an Essex-based consortium which runs short courses for the sector.
