Helping people and communities thrive
TastingColours is a social enterprise dedicated to helping people and groups thrive by creating meaningful connections, purpose, and dynamic communities.
We believe thriving begins when people know where they belong, how they contribute, and what drives them. But finding that clarity — isn’t always easy.
That’s where we come in.
Our work
We combine evidence, behavioural science and human centered design to re-order life around motivation, sense of self and social connection and bring golden thread of purpose to ignite energy
work in the 'in-between spaces' — where people feel stuck, not quite where they want to be, but unsure how to move forward.
This space holds real possibility. It's an opportunity to take stock, and re-connect with passions, purpose and values.
That’s when the spark returns. We rejoin the things we love. We connect with others who feel the same - we build communities based on our shared interests.
Our work
Our work is rooted in both insight and imagination. It is:
-
Evidence-informed
Grounded in science, insight, and lived experience -
Human-centred

Community-minded
Always building toward shared momentum and social good
What we do
Our validated model brings the science of thriving to life—with both rigour and creativity.
We don’t just deliver information—we work human to human. Through listening, co-creation, and relational delivery, we help people ground the evidence in their own words, actions, and experiences. It becomes relevant. Personal. Impactful.
We also use innovative, memorable resources to translate behavioural science into something people can use and carry with them—making change both practical and lasting.
Our services include:
-
Navigation Program
1:1 support to help people rediscover purpose, momentum, and direction.
-
Thriving Reviews
A people-first diagnostic that reveals how individuals or groups are really doing—and what they need to thrive.
-
Staff & Volunteer Development
Co-created sessions that help people connect, align around purpose, and unlock shared energy.
-
Peer-Led Spaces
Designed for growth, laughter, lived experience, and mutual support—these spaces foster belonging and collective momentum.
Why it matters
The communities that lift us up often start in the simplest of places:
Watching the match with friends.
Sharing thoughts on a great book.
Dancing, crafting, cooking, playing.
When we gather around the things we love, something deeper happens:
We feel seen.
We laugh more.
We find a rhythm, a sense of purpose, and a reason to show up—not just for ourselves, but for each other.
These are the communities that bring colour to life.
They carry our stories, spark our energy, and remind us we’re not alone.
Without them, things can feel flat—like we’re just going through the motions.
Groups lose their spark.
Communities shift from belonging to just being there.
At TastingColours, we’re here to bring that colour back.
To help people find where they fit, reconnect with what matters, and build communities that are joyful, meaningful, and made for thriving—together.
Our Story
What began as a grassroots idea — to help people find connection, meaning, and momentum — has grown into a thriving social enterprise that now supports hundreds of people to move forward in ways that feel right for them.
We’re proud to stand alongside people in the “in-between spaces” — those quiet, often overlooked moments in life where something is shifting. Where you're not in crisis, but not yet fully aligned with the energy, purpose, or community that brings your life into full colour.
Through these journeys, we’ve learned more than we could have imagined. We’ve seen that lasting growth doesn’t come from rushing or fixing — it comes from listening, co-creating, and offering space that feels safe, respectful, and real. By embracing flexibility and walking at the pace each person sets, we’re able to support next steps that are grounded in choice, possibility, and care.
Thank you for being interested in our story.
