We support underrepresented young people to pursue their professional aspirations.

We are a Bristol-based social enterprise that sets out to support young people (16-25) with their professional aspirations, irrespective of their background. Our team believes that every young person has unique skills or talent, which, if explored and nurtured, adds value to society. We support young people through our unique development programme, which consist of accredited work focused skills training, career-orientated events and professional mentoring schemes.

Why the community needs us

Since 2010, we have empowered many unemployed local residents as volunteers; representatives from local businesses as mentors; and offered corporations and public agencies the opportunity to engage in meaningful corporate social responsibility activities through our programme. The culmination of these activities has enabled us to support many aspiring young people to progress into work, further education and self employment.

Our impact on the community

As at July 2015, Babbasa has been able to support 341 young people to gain new workplace knowledge and self-confidence through Babbasa training activities; 29 young people to enter paid employment as a direct outcome of our support; 68 young people to enter into volunteering and unpaid employment; and 9 young people have successfully embarked upon self-employment with our support. 76% of all young people surveyed indicated a need for our services.
