Meet the Blaze Advisory Group
The Blaze Advisory Group is a team of 16-25 year olds from across Lancashire who meet once a month with our Director to help shape our programme whilst taking part in fun creative activities.

Three words my friends would use to describe me…
Thoughtful, Creative and Courageous.
I’ve joined the Advisory Group because…
I wanted to help Blaze figure out ways to make creative opportunities more accessible to young people across all areas of Lancashire!
A creative activity I enjoy doing is…
Performing spoken word. I find it really fun, and also pretty therapeutic, to write my thoughts down in a creative way, but then I also get a buzz from sharing it with an audience too.

Zia (they/them)
Three words my friends would use to describe me…
Empathetic, adaptive, and realistic.
I’ve joined the Advisory Group because…
I am a creative young person who is currently employed by Lancashire Youth Challenge in a Kickstart placement as Assistant Arts Producer at Culture Co-op, who push meaningful difference in young peoples’ direction via youth projects and creative outlets. I am passionate about free thinking, the importance of stable mental health, and cultural and emotional competence, amongst other things. Through the advisory group, I am excited to help make creative opportunities and skills more accessible to everyone, thereby increasing equity, diversity, collaboration, and richness in the arts amongst Lancashire.
A creative activity I enjoy doing is…
Sketching and writing for personal pleasure, though I hope to work on these to a professional standard e.g. prints on paper and clothing, and develop newfound interests in sound technology, graphic design, clothing DIY, and editing.
