Ablaze Celebrates 20 Years of Empowering Young People in the West of England
For 20 years Ablaze has supported a generation of young people from their early years to employment. Help us to support the next.
Since 2005, Ablaze has been making a lasting impact on the lives of thousands of young people across the wider Bristol region. Through the dedication of business and community volunteers, our programmes have helped to raise aspirations, improve skill levels, and enhance employability prospects for the next generation.
This year marks our 20th anniversary, a significant milestone that provides an opportunity to reflect on the incredible achievements of the past two decades. Throughout the year, we will be celebrating the success stories that have emerged from our programmes, highlighting the difference we have made in young people’s lives, and raising funds to secure our future work in the West of England.
As part of our anniversary celebrations, we have created a special video featuring participants from our programmes. In this video, individuals share their experiences and explain how Ablaze has helped them grow, develop essential skills, and gain confidence for their future.
We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved over the past 20 years, but our work is far from over. With continued support from businesses, schools, and the wider community, we remain committed to helping young people reach their full potential.
Join us in celebrating our journey and supporting our mission to create brighter futures. Together, we can continue to inspire and empower the next generation for years to come.
If you would like to support our work, you can donate here or check out our ideas for fundraising. To find out more about our programmes, we have information for schools and for businesses.
