A PLEDGE FROM ECHO!
We have spent the last few days trying to figure out how best to use our voice and platform in the entertainment industry to best support our black clients, peers and friends. There is so much for all of us to do and so much to learn but it’s important that we now communicate and commit on what we are going to do to make a real lasting impact.
We are starting by making a donation to UKBLM Fund and going forwards we pledge that 2% of echo’s yearly profits will be going to charitable organisations and we will be prioritising charities that focus on minority groups and the injustices and racism that they face in day to day life and within our industry.
We are also aware that just donating money isn’t enough and that time is incredibly valuable. We are currently working on how to provide this and our next step is to set up a volunteering programme which sees all staff members being able to take one paid day a month to volunteer for organisations who support minority groups, both, in everyday life and into the very white and privileged industry that is Entertainment.
We know we have a long way to go and we are still working on what else we can do to change, improve and do better. We will keep you updated on our journey and we want you to hold us accountable to these commitments.
But know this, we are fully committed to the fight and the work starts now!
