We know educators are doing everything they can to support their students. And yet, some of life’s biggest lessons—empathy, resilience, identity, belonging—don’t always fit neatly into the curriculum or come easily at home. That’s where we come in.
Tales to Inspire bridges the gap between learning and living. Through powerful storytelling, we bring real-world experiences into the classroom—helping young people connect with ideas that shape not just their education, but their perspective on life.
Our workshops are designed to complement your existing efforts, not replace them. We’re here to support schools, teachers, and families by creating a space where students feel seen, inspired, and empowered to grow—both academically and personally.
Why Choose Tales to Inspire?
Rooted in Lived Experience
Our founder Krish went from being bullied, arrested, and depressed to finding purpose and resilience through story. That journey laid the foundation for a programme that teaches through connection—not only instruction.
Storytelling That Stays With Them
Our ambassadors are not actors or speakers – they’re people with real stories, sharing their lived experience. These aren’t lectures. They’re moments of impact students carry with them long after the school bell rings.
Designed for Real School Life
Whether you’re navigating PSHE goals, student wellbeing challenges, or looking to create a more connected school culture, our workshops are built to support what matters most to you.

How It Works
Step 1: Pre-Workshop Planning
We collaborate with your school to tailor each session to the age group, format, and unique needs of your students.
Step 2: Workshop Delivery
Our trained ambassadors deliver live sessions – either in-person or online – ranging from small classroom groups to full-school assemblies.
Step 3: Reflection & Integration
Post-workshop materials and guidance help teachers extend the impact with optional activities and discussion prompts.
Investment & Delivery
We always show up as real people – open, thoughtful, and present. We bring professionalism with personality – showing up as ourselves, not just presenters in suits.

You will decide on the topics you’re interested into, the length of the workshop, and preferred dates.
With that we’ll prepare a proposal, including which ambassadors and team members will attend on the day and send it to you on a deck in a PDF file, along with a quote for the work.
From here, we can arrange a short call to solve last questions.
You get approval for the work.
We attend on the day, deliver the workshop, and leave.

Our aim isn’t to just turn up and be done. We want to leave a lasting impact and exceed all expectations and you may feel that a series of workshops may work better for your needs.
