East London Business Alliance

In February, we held a Just Turn Up Day for volunteers to lend a hand to a community project. Employees from 14 different companies joined SocietyLinks to plant bulbs in Swedenborg Gardens, increasing biodiversity in the park and creating a pleasant environment for local residents.

We've teamed up with Stay Nimble to offer amazing support and guidance through their outstanding online digital career coaching platform. It is specifically designed to help job seekers understand their own strengths and preferences, and then gain insight into different types of work they could consider based on these - even some areas they may not have ever considered themselves before!

Not only that, but this tool helps you to understand who's hiring in your area, what areas/roles/sectors you could consider as a change of career, and even free online courses to help improve your chances of success.

Given all the extra time we all seem to have, now is the perfect time to get involved and start learning and developing yourself.

Please do get in touch by emailing [email protected] and quoting Stay Nimble.

Recently our Challenge Programme Manager, Ashley Rice, wrote an amazing piece surrounding the Virtual Food Drive he is leading for us!

"Through the Virtual Food Drive, ELBA has been able to support 14 different organisations with food orders... with almost £7000 being raised so far... The Virtual Food Drive has also been able to provide food for food banks, such as Hackney Food Bank where 57kg of food donated will provide 135 meals for local people in crisis."
