About Us
Be-Intrinsic is a social enterprise that provides access to creative arts for vulnerable and disadvantaged young people. We seek to increase communication skills and enhance personal confidence of young people through creative workshops using visual arts and digital media.
‘Be Intrinsic’ represents being who you are and being true to self. We should all be able to speak our truth. The things that make us uncomfortable are often the things which help us grow the most when we deal with them. We encourage all to speak and live our authentic truth, and we use creative media as medium of expression to connect, grow and develop.

Values
Our values
Beliefs
Our beliefs and values underpin how we plan to fulfil our mission.
Faith
We promote the principle that progress and development is achieved through faith – whether in oneself, in others or in external beliefs. Faith is paramount.
Compassion
We believe that compassion yields healing, healing yields recovery and recovery yields growth. So compassion is required for growth. We encourage this by helping individuals develop more compassion towards themselves, which is required to develop greater compassion, empathy and love towards others.
Growth
We can only grow when we disturb the soil, plant goods seeds and care for our environment so growth can occur.

Be-Intrinsic CIC seeks to provide our beneficiaries with the communication skills and personal confidence to ‘Be Intrinsic’ to who they are. We believe that we should all be able to speak our truth. The things that make us uncomfortable are often the things which help us grow the most when we deal with them. We encourage all to speak and live our authentic truth.
Our Impact
We envisage our social impact in the following areas: –

We shall be using a widely used tool called ‘Shooting Star’ which is one of a family of tools from the ‘Outcomes Star’ series – developed to support and measure change when working with young people. The Shooting Star is designed to capture more holistic outcomes and give a greater emphasis to outcomes beyond academic achievement.
The questionnaire style approach of the tool covers key areas which provide an ample evaluation model for us to measure both our key outcomes of increasing levels of communication, confidence and social development.
