The objectives, as laid down in our Memorandum and Articles of Association, continue to focus on tackling inequality of opportunity by raising the aspiration, achievement and attainment of young people in the West of England. We aim to enrich educational opportunities, improve access to education, create and develop sustained learning partnerships between the education, business and public sectors. We also support the development of professionals involved in these sectors to build communities where learning is prioritised and opportunities are equitable for all. ## _**How the activities deliver public benefit**_ Ablaze provides children and young people with access to business volunteers and opportunities to help raise attainment, develop skills, and broaden their aspirations. For many young people, this represents an opportunity they would not otherwise have. The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. ## **Achievements and performance** This year has been a strong and positive year for Ablaze, marked by expanded programme delivery and strengthened income generation. - We have supported 575 young people, a 6% increase on the previous year (up from 543). - We worked with 336 volunteers (up from 256). - We partnered with 38 businesses (up from 31). - We delivered 40 programmes. - We delivered 3,293 hours of reading and number support. Despite supporting more young people than in the previous year, our service income decreased from the previous year, reflecting the ongoing pressure on school budgets and more companies having reduced their CSR budgets. However, our investment in fundraising successfully offset this reduction, through increased grants and donations during 2024/25. During the year, we ran a large Big Give match-funding campaign, raising over £24,000 and secured a multi-year grant from the National Lottery to deliver our Employment and Skills Programme for the next three years, as well as significant grants from several trusts and foundations. Thanks to our diversified fundraising successes, we ended the year with a £35,055 surplus, compared to a deficit in 2023-24, meaning that our reserves are now within our target range. Over the course of next year, we would like to be able to increase our income so that we can designate some money to employ a new member of staff, allowing us to grow our programmes.

The need for our services is as great as ever and these indicators underscore the critical and growing need for Ablaze’s services: - 27% of children across the West of England are growing up in poverty, (67,000 children). - 29.2% of Bristol school age children receive Free School Meals (higher than national 24.6%) - In 24-25, only 58% of Bristol 11-year-olds met expected standards in reading, writing, & maths. - Of NEET young people aged 16-24, 40% are expected to move into work or learning within 6 - months, with up to 8% of young people (approximately 576,000) remaining NEET for 12 months At Ablaze, we are rooted in our local community and have spent the last 20 years building relationships with local schools, businesses, and young people to truly address their evolving needs. Through effective community engagement, we help businesses to make the best use of their resources to support their community and make a difference. Evaluation shows that our programmes do make a difference, and our impact remains strong across the age ranges we support. ## **Programme Highlights:** This year saw strong programme delivery across Ablaze, with rising participation and sustained impact for children and young people. We supported more young people than last year, delivered high quality programmes in partnership with schools and businesses, and strengthened our core offer across mentoring, primary literacy and numeracy, and employability support. Multi year funding for our Employment & Skills Programme has enabled continued growth in this area, while our Reading and Number Partners and mentoring programmes expanded their reach and continued to show strong outcomes.

This was more than forecasted in our budget by £61,543, meaning our funds increased by £35,055 by the end of the year. Our charging income was lower in 2024/25 than in 2023/24, however our increased fundraising, including our 20th anniversary Big Give Campaign, offset this reduced charging income and lead to an overall higher income. Our expenditure was very slightly lower in 2024/25 than 2023/24. Our reserves are now within our target range as our income was greater than our expenditure last year, marking a significant recovery from the previous year's shortfall (2023–24 unrestricted reserves: £80,249 and now 2024–25 unrestricted: £96,279). ## **Fundraising activities** We have continued our investment in fundraising and our 20th Anniversary campaign successfully strengthened our income streams, and we also benefitted from support from multiple trusts, foundations and corporate partners including: the Postcode Local Trust, the Quartet Community Foundation, the Nisbet Trust, The Steel Charitable Trust, Portishead Nautical Trust, the Denman Charitable Trust, National Lottery – Reaching Communities, Dame Violet Wills Trust, Burges Salmon Charitable Trust, B-Clear Foundation, Neighbourly and South Glos Council. The focus for our fundraising continues to support our school-based programmes, due to the increased pressures on schools’ budgets, but mostly on funding our core costs, such as insurance, accountancy costs, administration and programme development. ## _**Investment policy and objectives**_ The trustees have wide powers of investment. Surplus short-term funds are held in an interest-bearing deposit account. Page 6 Doc ID: cd131e6623ef87943315971c4f05ee55a11bf420 ## **ABLAZE A Business Learning Action Zone for Education** ## **Trustees' Report** ## _**Policy on reserves**_ Unrestricted reserves at the end of the year: 31st August 2025 were £96,279 The Trustees of Ablaze recognize the importance of maintaining a robust financial position to ensure the charity’s activities are sustained for the foreseeable future. To manage financial risk and provide operational stability, the Trustees have established a reserves policy designed to cover working capital requirements, mitigate unexpected expenditure, and protect against shortfalls in income. The Trustees aim to maintain unrestricted reserves within a target range of £86,076 to £123,601. This range represents approximately four to six months of essential operating expenditure, including core overheads, alongside a provision for potential redundancy and wind-up costs. Maintaining reserves within this range ensures that Ablaze remains a going concern and can continue to deliver its mission even during periods of financial volatility. Should unrestricted reserves exceed the upper threshold of this range, the Trustees will review the surplus and may allocate funds to designated reserves for specific strategic priorities, such as IT infrastructure upgrades, website development, or future staffing needs. This approach ensures that all charitable funds are utilized effectively to further our aims while maintaining a prudent level of financial security In addition to these reserves, and in accordance with our Business Plan, the Trustees have also designated the following funds from our unrestricted reserves for the year 2025/26. ## IT We had £1,000 designated for IT at the start of 2024/25. We needed to purchase a new laptop during the year at a cost of £569. A number of our computers are now over or reaching five years old, so we have added an additional £969 to the IT designated fund to allow us to replace outdated IT equipment as it becomes necessary. The total ringfenced reserves plus designated funds leaves us with an unrestricted income fund of £94,879, which is within our target range. We will continue to fundraise to ensure we stay within this range, as well as fundraising for future growth or new programmes. ## **Office accommodation** TLT Solicitors have continued to support Ablaze with some access to pro bono office space in 2024/25, whilst this is more limited than previous years due to them taking on Government Contracts. Since February 2025 TLT have offered us use of a meeting room on their public meeting floor for one day a week, use of rooms for our employment and skills workshops and some storage for our equipment. The total contribution is valued at £11,000 per annum, with 6 months full use of office space and 6 months use of 1 day per week meeting room. We will continue to research alternative pro-bono options and may need to fundraise to pay for space next year. ## **Pay policy for senior staff** The directors consider that the board of directors, who are the Trustees, comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. All directors give their time freely and no director received remuneration in the year. Details of directors’ expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 8 to the accounts.

We strengthened and expanded our partnerships this year, working with 38 businesses and 336 volunteers, an increase on the previous year. These relationships enabled us to widen our reach and deliver high quality programmes across the region. 2. We developed and delivered our new 1-day Career Mentoring programme alongside our Core 6-session programme, supporting 168 young people. Outcomes across Career Mentoring remained high, with 100% of participants learning key employability skills and the majority reporting increased confidence. 3. Our Reading and Number Partners programme achieved 44% growth, with 26 programmes delivered across 20 schools. Supported by 19 business partners, the programme reached 350 pupils, delivering strong gains in confidence, literacy and numeracy. 4. We built on last year’s success with a well received Employment and Skills Programme supporting 9 young people facing barriers to employment. Thanks to multi year funding from the National Lottery and support from South Gloucestershire Council, we secured funding for an additional 3 years and strengthened and stabilised this programme. 5. Improved Financial Position: We have a £35,055 surplus, a major improvement on last year, enabling us to bring our reserves back within the target range. Strong fundraising, including over £24,000 raised through the Big Give has helped us exceed income expectations. Our 2025/26 business plan has the following key goals for Ablaze: 1. To ensure smooth transition of staff changes – new CEO, School Partnership Manager and Corporate Partnership Manager 2. Retain and strengthen our current partnerships and build new ones across all our programmes and contracts to ensure retention and progression with businesses and schools. 3. Review and refresh the CM Programme to create the 3-tier offering and retain current partnerships 4. Sustain growth in Reading and Number Partner Programmes 5. Dedicate time to investigating new contract opportunities 6. Recruit one new Trustee before the summer 7. Raise £50,000 through fundraising and business development activity Page 8 Doc ID: cd131e6623ef87943315971c4f05ee55a11bf420 ## **ABLAZE A Business Learning Action Zone for Education Trustees' Report** ## **Trustees and officers** The trustees and officers serving during the year and since the year end were as follows: Trustees: Ashley Daniells Shawnett Morgan Richard Stokes Julia Thomas Simon Wilks Martin Jones (appointed 15 October 2024) William Crameri (appointed 4 September 2025) Secretary: Victoria Gibbs ## **Structure, governance and management** ## _**Nature of governing document**_ The charity is constituted as a private company, limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital. It is governed by a memorandum and Articles of Association, dated 8 March 2005, and amended by Written Resolution, dated 1 August 2005. It is a registered charity with the Charity Commission. ## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_ The Board undertook a fundamental review of the governance of the charity in 2020/21 to ensure that arrangements were robust and represented best practice. New Articles of Association were adopted on 26th February 2021. In addition, a New Governance Handbook was prepared. The Directors constantly review the skill set and experiences required by the Board of Trustees to ensure that Board membership reflects the correct balance and skills required to maximise effectiveness. The Directors who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page1. ## _**Induction and training of trustees**_ Trustees receive training and are regularly updated on changes in legislation and best practice guidance issued from time to time by the Charity Commission. ## **Risk management** The Directors have carried out a thorough review of the risks facing the charity; the next review is scheduled for January 2027. The risks are prioritised and top risks are reviewed at every Board meeting, and the CEO and Directors are tasked to formulate and implement plans to minimise risks. Ablaze’s current main risk is lack of our own office space/premises. Since February 2025 we have use of meeting rooms at TLT 1 day a week, but this does restrict our ability to meet and work collaboratively together as a team. We are actively seeking more permanent space and have ring fenced money raised from our Big Give fundraising campaign for this.

Over the past year, we have focused on strengthening the quality and reach of our programmes, ensuring that our work remains both relevant and impactful. We have seen continued development across our core areas, from early career mentoring to our partnerships supporting reading and numeracy, as well as our Employment and Skills programme. By deepening existing relationships and forming new collaborations, we have been able to extend our support to more young people and deliver it in increasingly effective ways. This year has also marked an important period of transition for Ablaze, with the appointment of our new CEO, Gilly. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to her for the energy, leadership and clarity she has brought to Ablaze. Her commitment to our mission and her drive to build on our successes have already made a significant impact, and we look forward to her continued leadership as we look ahead. As we move forward, our focus remains clear: to tackle inequality of opportunity and to ensure that every young person we work with is supported to realise their potential. We are ambitious about what comes next and are committed to continuing to grow, adapt and innovate in pursuit of that goal. Finally, I would like to thank our dedicated staff team, fellow trustees and valued partners. Their hard work, passion and collaboration are at the heart of everything we achieve, and they continue to make a meaningful difference to the lives of young people across the region. ## **Small companies provision statement** This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.

The address of its registered office is: Ablaze c/o TLT One Redcliff Street Bristol BS1 6TP The principal place of business is: TLT One Redcliff Street Bristol BS1 6TP 12 May 2026 These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on ............... ## **2 Accounting policies** ## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. ## **Statement of compliance** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. ## **Basis of preparation** Ablaze meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company, and rounded to the nearest £. ## **Going concern** The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. Page 15 Doc ID: cd131e6623ef87943315971c4f05ee55a11bf420 ## **ABLAZE A Business Learning Action Zone for Education** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025** ## **Income and endowments** All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. ## _**Donations and legacies**_ Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. ## _**Grants receivable**_ Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. ## _**Donated services and facilities**_ Where services are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from our suppliers, this contribution is included in the financial statements at an estimate based on the value of the contributions to the charity whenever the value exceeds £1,000. A corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. ## _**Investment income**_ Interest on funds held on deposits is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. ## **Expenditure** All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, when it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. ## _**Charitable activities**_ Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. ## _**Support costs**_ Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Page 16 Doc ID: cd131e6623ef87943315971c4f05ee55a11bf420 ## **ABLAZE A Business Learning Action Zone for Education** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025** ## _**Governance costs**_ These include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustee's meetings and reimbursed expenses. ## **Taxation** The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. ## **Tangible fixed assets** Individual fixed assets costing £200 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. ## **Depreciation and amortisation** Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: **Asset class Depreciation method and rate** Fixtures, fittings and equipment 33% straight line basis ## **Trade debtors** Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. ## **Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Page 17 Doc ID: cd131e6623ef87943315971c4f05ee55a11bf420 ## **ABLAZE A Business Learning Action Zone for Education** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025** ## **Trade creditors** Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## **Fund structure** Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. ## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations** A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment. ## **3 Income from donations and legacies** ||**Unrestricted**||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**funds**||**Restricted**||**Total**||**Total**| ||**General**||**funds**||**2025**||**2024**| ||**£**||**£**||**£**||**£**| |Donations and legacies;|||||||| |Donations from individuals|45,481||42,005||87,486||31,785| |Grants, including capital grants;|||||||| |Grants from companies|66,000||64,115||130,115||119,859| |Donated services and facilities|20,000||-||20,000||20,000| ||131,481||106,120||237,601||171,644| ||||||||| For the year ended 31 August 2024 £61,423 of the income above was attributable to unrestricted funds and £110,221 attributable to restricted funds.
