Inspire projects
Our Inspire projects help us to fulfil our purpose to work with others to build a future that is kind, connected and joyful.
We do a lot more than consultancy at Kaleidoscope. We also run regular Inspire projects.
These are our passion projects, the things we do because we want to. As a social enterprise, we can run with great ideas that contribute to our purpose, even if they don’t contribute to our bottom line. What matters is our mission to make the world a kinder, more connected and joyful place.
Our Inspire projects have ranged from highlighting the stories of LGBTQ+ people with eating disorders to the world’s largest health sci-fi prize, from enabling joy to flourish in the NHS to sponsoring a girls’ football team, from internships with a difference to free fresh lunchtime conversations.
