The Ubele Initiative
Non-profit Organizations
Ubele is taken from Swahili meaning “The Future”.
About us
The Ubele Initiative was founded in 2014, following dialogue with African diaspora leaders. Community-rooted and collaborative in character, Ubele focused on effective solutions to persistent social and economic issues. Ubele is taken from Swahili meaning “The Future”. As an African diaspora led, infrastructure plus organisation, we believe in empowering Black and Minoritised communities in the UK to act as catalysts for social and economic change. To achieve this, we work with community leaders, groups, and organisations in the UK and beyond to strengthen their sustainability, resilience, and voice. We support the growth of individuals and community-based groups and organisations through intergenerational leadership initiatives, capacity support, enterprise, and asset development.

Yesterday Yvonne Field visited 10 Downing Street as government announced the creation of a ‘Civil Society Covenant’ which will hopefully usher in a new era of partnership between government and civil society. The new Covenant is designed to harness the knowledge and expertise of voluntary, community, social enterprises (VCSEs) and charities to deliver better outcomes for communities right across the country.

Vacancies Available - Black Rootz Champions The Black Rootz Champion roles have been created in recognition that we need greater capacity, new skills and more experience to move forward. Champions will bring additional capacity to functional areas across Black Rootz as well as strategic capacity to the project. Each Champion will have a different focus but what will be common across the roles is: − Responsibility within a specific functional area of Black Rootz activities, either working with members of the Black Rootz team or taking on some responsibilities directly − Participation in meetings and work supporting the strategic development and long-term sustainability of Black Rootz. The first 12-months as a Champion is likely to be focussed on securing the foundations of Black Rootz. This will involve understanding the current ways of working that exist within the project, collaborating with the team to develop more efficient systems, processes and practices, inputting into effective approaches to our work, and beginning to connect the long-term sustainability of the project with the activities being delivered now. We are looking for up to 5 people to join this pioneering group of Back Rootz Champions. This is a new approach. We aim to be flexible and experimental, but each Champion will have a specialism across one or more functional areas, be a confident self-manager and be comfortable contributing to the project from a position of leadership. This is the first time Black Rootz will be hiring to these roles and we are excited by the prospect of having extra support and guidance as we enter a new phase of our growth. Our first set of Champions will also be excited by the prospect of positive change for Black Rootz and comfortable navigating the uncertainty that comes with establishing this new way of working. Commitment to the vision and mission of Black Rootz is essential. These are volunteer roles and the minimum time commitment is 2 days per month. Link to application here: https://lnkd.in/eEzxmDMu
