Our Thrive programme aims to help young adults with learning difficulties, special educational needs or low-level mental health worries, prepare for independence through life-skills, learning and challenges.
Working Towards Independence
Our ‘Thrive’ programme is aimed to nurture independence. This unique programme for young adults between 16 – 30 years old provides informal education and constructive activities to help individuals thrive in life, prepare for adulthood and head towards independent living.
The Thrive programme is also available to those who don’t currently have an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP).
Building Confidence
The informal education units will cover skills needed to manage in today’s society. Skills, ranging from basic meal preparation, Universal Credit accounts, accessing medical services through to nutrition and utility management, to help prepare learners to cope with the challenges of everyday life.
