Our Partners

Partnerships continue to play a key role across all areas of Shared Interest; they are vital to the sustainability and capacity of projects and activities across the organisation.

We undertake an annual partnership survey and the results can be found in our Social Accounts this year.

Shared Interest has partners across a variety of sectors including, fair trade, co-operatives and social finance and we value the diversity and multiple connections this enables us to have. As our partners cover all aspects of the organisation they also cover all parts of the world with partners at local, regional, national and international levels. Our overseas offices in Kenya, Peru and Ghana also play a key role in our ability to strengthen partnerships within these respective regions.
