about us
Kainé is a community-rooted organisation and registered charity (1146981) that nurtures growth and connection through arts, education, and cultural awareness. We are based in the city of Leicester, and our mission is to create positive change.
We desire all participants to inherit positive futures, by equipping them with skills, resources and the support to develop their goals and reach them. We achieve this through a range of programmes, projects and events and have special targets of children & young people, women and girls, refugee and asylum seekers and Senior Citizens. We empower them to discover their own potential in safe, supportive spaces.
We are committed to ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, can access the tools and opportunities they need to succeed. We work diligently to foster community development and social cohesion in our multi-cultural city.
Through our dedicated efforts, we strive to build brighter futures for individuals and communities alike.

What we do
We work across three areas - arts, community and education. We design programmes to meet needs we see in our local community. We work with groups including senior citizens, teenage parents, young people lacking opportunities, and asylum seekers and refugees. All our work aims at creating equality of opportunity, supporting those who most need it, and raising aspiration and achievement. Inclusion, connection and empowerment are at the centre of everything we do.
What's with the name?
We're glad you asked. 'Kainé' is a Greek word meaning 'new', as in 'new life' or 'new beginning'. It's pronounced 'kai - nay'. We're officially called Kainé Management Ltd because we started out in artist management.
Where our funding comes from
Some of our work is funded by grants. We also charge for some products and services, putting the income back into work supporting our charitable objects. Support from donors, sponsors and partner organisations enables us to take our ideas much further. You can support us in several ways - see our Support Kainé page for details!
