Partnership Award

We love it when volunteering engagement moves to the next level and sustainable partnerships, building real capacity, develop. We are delighted that the Rokeby Business Support Group is the winner in this category. ELBA brought together a group of businesses to support Rokeby Secondary School by meeting regularly with the head teacher and helping her tackle some of her key challenges.

As well as supporting the students directly with reading volunteers, mentors and running sessions in their own companies, the group is providing support to the school’s management and business functions. Members of the Rokeby Business Support Group include: London City Airport; Accenture; BT; McGrigors; Tate & Lyle; East Thames; Financial Services Authority; London Thames Gateway Development Corporation and Newham Education Business Partnership.
