About Us

Kinspiration CIC is a non-profit organisation set up to form stronger bonds within and between marginalised and underrepresented communities and children with SEND as a supplement to school enrichment activities.

We offer creative workshops to primary schools, children aged 4+, young people and their families/carers to nurture educational development, with a focus on promoting mental and physical wellbeing by strengthening key life-skills, such as growth mindset and emotional resilience.

We empower children from different backgrounds to believe in themselves and strive to bridge the gap between disadvantaged communities through early intervention. The inclusive workshops build emotional literacy and a positive attitude to learning using a myriad of creative practices, such as exploratory therapeutic arts and crafts (painting, drawing, sculpting, crafting), storytelling, role-playing, music and sports.

At present, we are delivering workshops in various Brent and Barnet schools as well as at Wembley Library, Friern Barnet Library and other community spaces.
