Ablaze

Ablaze is an independent charity that exists to tackle inequality of opportunity for young people in the West of England. We do this by providing a vital bridge between businesses and young people, facilitating meaningful connections and opportunities. Who do we support? We deliver meaningful experiences for young people in our region who are under-served, under-estimated, disengaged and lacking social collateral. We aim to mitigate the crisis in skills, attainment and confidence facing this group. How it works: We use businesses as a tool to connect young people with the real world of work, offering opportunities for businesses to engage with their local community and achieve social value targets. Our goal: To support young people on their journey towards meaningful employment through a variety of interventions that utilise the skills, insight and guidance of our volunteers. Our aims: > To raise young people’s confidence and aspirations. > To support attainment and skill levels at school. > To empower young people with knowledge to make informed choices about their future. If you're a business looking to support young people in your community, contact us at enquiries@ablazebristol.org to explore how we could help you.
