Take Note Tools

Take Note’s tools have been created to make it easier for organisations to work in partnership.

Our wide ranging suite of tools has been developed in close consultation with over 30 organisations working with us in our Innovation Lab. Aimed at social-change organisations, funders, researchers, advocacy organisations and networks, our tools package up the Take Note partnership methodology in a way that is easily accessible, flexible to use and highly practical.

The final versions of the tools shared here are the outcome of ongoing feedback from partners delivering projects on the ground and are rooted in real world application and usability. All our tools are freely available and we encourage you to engage with them however you feel is most helpful for your organisation and the context in which you’re working.

We are always happy to support organisations who are interested in learning more about the Take Note resources available and how to make the most of them. Please get in touch at hello@wetakenote.org if you would like to find out more.

“All of the resources that Take Note shared with us were really helpful…and gave us the strategy and tools we could use to move forward in our partnership. They gave us a structure to work together and helped us to clarify what all of us needed to do.”
