The government wants public services to draw more support from the business world. Jenny Cornish looks at three partnerships in the children's sector and finds out the ingredients of a valuable, lasting arrangement.

LONDON EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION AND LAND SECURITIES

The partnership between social enterprise London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) and commercial property owner Land Securities has evolved over time.

The organisations started working together several years ago. The property firm initially provided cash donations. But since 2008, the company has also given skills support and donations in kind, such as providing venues for events.

Donations have included £10,000 towards the Marsham Street Children's Centre refurbishment, £15,579 towards refurbishment of the organisation's reception area and £11,690 for numeracy and literacy training and resources for apprentices.

Land Securities has also given LEYF advice and mentoring on IT systems and marketing.
