About SocialFuse Festival

SocialFuse Festival is Derbyshire’s annual flagship celebration of purpose-driven innovation and social impact. Each year, it brings together hundreds of change-makers, creatives, community leaders, and entrepreneurs who are passionate about creating a better future – for people and planet.

More than just a festival, SocialFuse is a catalyst for collaboration, connection, and meaningful action. From inspiring talks to interactive workshops, immersive experiences to grassroots showcases, we celebrate the power of community and shared purpose to spark real-world change.

SocialFuse is proudly produced by Kakou CIC, a social enterprise rooted in values of inclusion, creativity, and sustainability.

The name “Kakou” comes from the Hawaiian value meaning “we are all in this together.” Guided by this ethos, we are committed to making SocialFuse Festival as accessible, inclusive, and environmentally responsible as possible.

Whether you’re a seasoned changemaker or just beginning your journey, SocialFuse is your space to connect, be inspired, and take action.
