At Lives in Focus we believe that every child regardless of background, privilege or education, should be given the opportunity to experience the joys of childhood.

Children around the world often leave education only to step into lives shaped by circumstance, not by what brings them joy.  We believe every child deserves the chance to discover what makes them feel alive, excited, and truly happy.

Lives in Focus offers children the opportunity to think outside the confines of what is usual for a child of their background.

Evidence shows that when a child is given the chance to explore a hobby or passion they truly enjoy, it can have a powerful and lasting impact.

Exploring personal interests and passions is a vital part of a child’s development—it helps them understand themselves, build resilience, and learn how to navigate the world. Yet many children never get the chance to discover what truly excites and inspires them.

Through hands-on art, photography and sport workshops across the UK and beyond, we help children uncover what they love—whether it’s a skill, a hobby, or a new interest—and show them how that joy can positively impact their lives and their communities.

Through hands-on workshops across the UK and around the world, we help children discover and explore their interests—giving them the chance to develop practical skills, build confidence, and find joy in learning something new.

We also empower children to make a real difference in their schools and communities by helping them turn their passions into purpose—raising funds and creating positive change through the things they love to do.
