Partnership Spotlight: LeftLion and Himmah

 

At Himmah, we pride ourselves on a collaborative approach to fighting for social justice, as we believe that far more can be achieved when we work together. Partnerships are a great way to build more power and create social change. This series of blog posts is designed to shine a light on some of Himmah’s thriving partnerships and the subsequent impact that’s made.

 

We hold exciting relationships with a huge range of organisations and institutions, both locally and across the UK. In collaboration with the voluntary sector, we understand local challenges and strengthen social impact; with academics and arts centres, we develop platforms of action, research and storytelling; and, with the private sector and more widely, we drive engagement on issues of social justice.

 

Local arts and culture magazine, LeftLion, has been a key supporter and collaborator with Himmah in recent years. Sharing objectives of storytelling, raising awareness and reaching new audiences, we’ve come together to amplify some of Nottingham’s most pressing issues facing inner-city communities.

 

Website Development

Back in Spring 2023, together we launched Himmah’s custom-designed website, hoping to better communicate the key message of our work. LeftLion’s expertise in marketing, website development and content management were essential to such an exciting platform to be developed successfully. The team kindly donated their time and knowledge for free, also offering ongoing training and technical support, saving Himmah what would have been a mammoth cost otherwise.

 

Videography

The colourful new website proved a great place to share another powerful piece of messaging – LeftLion had also designed, produced and edited a fantastic video, summarising what Himmah stands for.

 

Adverisement

On top of these hugely impactful developments, LeftLion continues to offer reduced-rate advertisements and regularly features our work across their print magazine and digital channels, which remain staple reads for anyone interested in local topics.

 

This exciting collaboration shows what can be achieved by two institutions coming together for the common good. We hope that we can continue to catapult our shared message and raise awareness of Himmah’s vital work. Thank you to the team at LeftLion for your continued support!
