It’s Toy Appeal time!
East London Business Alliance builds the connection between businesses and local communities, bringing the time, skills and resources of the private sector, to help build the capacity of local organisations, support young people in education and place people into employment in London. ELBA makes community investment easier, more effective and more rewarding, whether through face-to-face activity or online.
ELBA finds creative, ingenious and impactful ways to support local communities. Each year over 12,000 people from business give back to local communities through ELBA, using their skills, time, ideas and commitment to help in a very wide range of activities. Everything they do is needed in the local community and will have an impact.
Each year, ELBA places hundreds of people into work in London through our award-winning employment programme, delivers over 12,000 business volunteers into the community, and works with over 200 local organisations in east London and beyond.

It`s International Volunteer Day! A thank you always to our wide pool of volunteers who support ELBA`s work every day.
The Connect Team had volunteers working with us all day with a Website Review workshop this morning and a celebration event for our Digital Compass 2023 this afternoon! It was great to hear how each community organisation benefitted from their volunteers and what the volunteers have learned about the community sector during the process.

The future holds limitless possibilities, inspiring us to carve unique paths. Ready for your own `Professional Adventure`? 🚀 #FutureCareers #CareerExploration #ProactiveSuccess
