Through a long-standing strategic partnership with Islington Giving, Macquarie has helped to make an impact on the local community of its London office – providing over £1m in the last 10 years with a commitment to future funding for the non-profit.

With the new urgency emerging from all directions, we are working on how we can fit those activities into local carbon net zero and biodiversity gain targets, meeting the goals of both business and local stakeholders, while still involving the community in determining local priorities.

BIG Alliance and ELBA are engaging corporate volunteers to create Ecobricks. — a simple, low-tech solution to put our plastic to good use in short and long term applications. Ecobricks can be reused over and over again and safely secure plastic out of the biosphere to build spaces that enrich our community.

This week is Volunteers’ Week in which the unpaid efforts of people across the country are celebrated. And today, Thursday 3rd June 2021 is the day when we particularly focus on business volunteers.

Check out the results of ELBA and BIG Alliance's 2020 Community Partner Survey.

With the current disruption to schools, this National Careers Week highlights challenges for us at ELBA and many student-facing staff on how to engage students in employability activity amidst Covid-19.

As Covid-19 started to impact everyone’s daily life, the importance of supporting staff came into focus even more sharply and our internal wellbeing committee has been there to support colleagues as they have faced new and unexpected challenges

The onset of the pandemic has exacerbated financial inequalities. For young people, it has led to months without schooling, with most studying from home with varied resources and varied access to the internet and electronic devices.

To tackle this, ELBA and the BIG Alliance are proud to have recently launched and adapted our 2020/21 Mentoring Works programme to ensure we continue to support students that need it most.

From the 23rd of November until the 18th of December, ELBA and BIG Alliance will be collecting, sorting, and distributing what we hope will be an expected 10,000 toys to support children and families in need. Find out how you can get involved.
