Ablaze (A Business Learning Action Zone for Education)

Ablaze is an independent charity established in 2005 to tackle inequality of opportunity for young people across the West of England. We bridge the gap between education and the workplace by connecting local businesses with schools and colleges to build confidence, raise aspirations, and develop essential workplace skills.

Through structured corporate volunteering and youth initiatives, our programmes support young people from primary school through to early adulthood. Our core delivery includes primary Reading and Number Partners, secondary Career Mentoring, Employability Workshops, and targeted Employment & Skills programmes for 16-to-25-year-olds.
