Marina is the coordinator of a small community centre. Among the programs the centre provides are limited recreation services for retired people. The people who attend these have indicated that they would like additional opportunities at the centre, but there are no resources to provide these. Marina decides to promote the interests of these seniors who attend the centre to increase services. She realises that, as the only paid worker at the centre, she does not have the resources to represent their interests effectively. She decides she needs alliances to support these clients. Marina gains permission from the board of management to find other organisations in the local area that provide aged care services. She identifies two, including the local council. During her consultation with clients who access the centre, she also learns about an advocacy service for older people. Marina approaches the council and the advocacy service to discuss how they can collaborate to improve services for clients. They meet over several months to ratify objectives, identify the decision-makers and the actions that will take.

Ultimately, an agreement is developed between the local council, the community centre, the advocacy group and one other aged care service whose clients attend the centre.
