House of Imagination
House of Imagination is a charity that creates opportunities for young people to imagine and build a better future. Its aim is to put imagination at the heart of education, prove its value, and share that knowledge widely.
Imagination drives creativity and innovation, which are vital for social and economic development. We, therefore, support and grow imagination in learning so young people can create a better future.
