The Good Merger Index

Eastside People launched the newest version of its Good Merger Index on 14th February 2023
Good Merger Index Website Banner Press Release Eastside People Charity consultancy services eastside people

The Good Merger Index 2021-22, published today by Eastside People, contradicts expectations that Covid would drive more consolidation in the social sector during the second year of the pandemic.

The report shows that, using our methodology, merger activity declines rather than increases in the period, with just 51 mergers involving 103 organisations – only 0.06% of the c170,000 registered charities – down from 77 mergers involving 166 organisations in the previous period – the lowest level of activity since Eastside People’s records began in the year 2013-14.

With clear strategic focus and commitment, merger and other strategic partnerships remain a successful route to improving sustainability and delivering impact.
