Blaze is a Charity that relies on social media for engagement, awareness and communication with our local community and wider. We work with children, youth and their families on Grangetown, Middlesbrough.Our project leads do their best to communicate regularly through social media, but we are hoping to improve our social media presence. A better social media presence could potentially bring more service users, community engagement, and income from large funders as well as individual supporters.
