YOUTH GROUPS
We deliver weekly youth groups where the young people gather and enjoy a free hot meal and get to use facilities such as a fully equipped sports hall, live instruments and the PA system, table tennis, video games, various specialist equipment like panna cages,
basketball hoops and more. It's a dynamic group where young people ages 11 - 17
gather and essentially do life together and we aim to inspire them and discuss relatable
relevant topics.
FLAME
We also run outreach work in some deprived areas that have been identified by local
authorities as some of the worst in the areas. These are called ‘FLAME’ sessions. The
heart behind these is to reach the young people where they are and have positive
influence on them. We want to help the young people to strive for something better than
they are experiencing and show them they are loved and valued and that they also have a
purpose in life. We have partnered with various organisations and authorities to identify
what the needs are in various areas. The young people have the opportunity to do various
things such as graffiti art, music production, sports, photography and videography, or
they don’t have to do anything, and they are welcome to just chat and chill out.
ENERGIZE
Another thing that ‘The Blaze City Project’ run is dynamic music youth events. We call this
‘ENERGIZE.’ The best way to describe one of our ENERGIZE events is a high energy
indoor festival style gig! We work with dynamic bands and DJs from all over the UK and
beyond, who play everything from indie rock music to UK baseline and everything in
between. These events are always a good evening where the young people can be
themselves and enjoy live music in a safe environment.
SCHOOLS PROJECTS
We run a dynamic, engaging provision in high schools on a regular bases. In these sessions we work with classes, small groups & individuals where we help them look tackling issues that young people face. We have specially designed programs and resources, where we explore topics that are avoided in main stream school curriculums, giving the young people a new way of engaging with content by developing podcastings sessions and other creative programs. This is designed for students who maybe are struggling in school or indeed who just need an extra bit of support in their schooling life. This is an engaging way for young people to learn and develop.
SCHOOLS WEEKS
We run a school’s tour where we would take a band into four schools in the local area in
four days over the week and then would invite all the young people to a free gig at the
end of the week. We offer a well-rounded explanation of how the Christian faith underpins
decision-making and development, within these specific areas - Spiritual Development,
Moral Development, Social Development and Cultural Development. All our school
engagement aims to be effective in developing young people's understanding in these
areas. We deliver tours on subjects such as anti-knife crime, mental health and positive
well-being and other various tailor-made subjects for different areas.
LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
At ‘The Blaze City Project,’ we not only want to invest in the ‘now’ generation of young
people, but we also want to help the people that have gone through high school and want
to develop some different skills. One of the things we have in place is our ‘junior
leadership programme’ where we take young people aged 17-19(ish) and work closely
with them to develop their own personal skills, such as leadership, communication,teamwork, confidence, planning and so much more. We will identify a few people and
invite them to volunteer alongside our projects. We give them all opportunities to lead
various things from the start, whether it is a game or a discussion or even a full session.
Then our ‘senior leaders’ will take a back seat and be there for support and general help if
needed. After the session we will have a team meeting or a one-on-one chat and discuss
what they felt went well and what they felt could be improved on.
