Ablaze

Who we are

Ablaze exists to tackle inequality of opportunity for young people in the West of England region. We do this by utilising the skills and commitment of business volunteers.

We aim to

• raise young people’s confidence and aspiration;
• support their attainment and skill levels and
• empower them with knowledge to make informed choices about their future.

Since 2005 thousands of young people across the wider Bristol region have been supported by business and community volunteers delivering Ablaze programmes in schools. These programmes aim to raise aspiration and attainment and improve skill levels to boost young people’s chances in continuing education, employability and life.

Our culture and values

We are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to succeed.

As a small team, we work closely and collaboratively together, supporting one another to deliver high-quality programmes and achieve the best possible outcomes for both the businesses and young people we work with.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion across our organisation and throughout the programmes we deliver.

We believe everyone should be treated with dignity, fairness and respect, regardless of their background, identity or circumstances.

We strive to create an inclusive workplace where all employees feel valued, supported and able to reach their full potential.

We oppose discrimination in all its forms and are committed to providing equal opportunities in recruitment, development and employment.
