Honouring Our Communities at Linklaters. To celebrate Black History Month, ELBA invited a group of community partners to the Linklaters office in the City as part of the Evolve project. The aim was to script, rehearse, and record a piece to camera highlighting the community partner's impact and the significance of Black History Month to local communities. Corporate volunteers from Linklaters and UBS - both Evolve project partners - were on-hand to guide the script and delivery of the talking-heads video. The atmosphere in the room was one of excitement and collaboration as people paired up and worked together. "ELBA created a brilliant opportunity to bring together community partners and corporate volunteers in a way that felt both meaningful and energising. As this year's Black History Month theme is Honouring Our Communities, it was inspiring to see volunteers from Linklaters and UBS working side by side to celebrate and amplify the important work being done across local communities." - Amrin Nahar, Social Impact Advisor, Linklaters ELBA staff filmed the community groups using audio-visual equipment that was kindly donated by Linklaters. The video rushes were then sent to the community groups for use on their own social media accounts. As this year's Black History Month theme is Honouring Our Communities, the event felt like a fitting way to shine a light on the often-hidden work that is carried out at grassroots level. It was also a chance for representatives from east London community organisations and business volunteers to convene, collaborate, communicate and celebrate together.
