Thrive Together Birmingham

Thrive is the Development Partner for the Body Mind Spirit Partnership. We don’t directly deliver any activities; we support all of the other delivery partners in their activity, in developing an understanding of how to encourage participation in activity that prevents older people from declining and therefore needing higher levels of intervention from Health and Social Care.

As a partnership we have developed an understanding of working with older people and enabling older people to ‘do’ for themselves. Our model is one of older people being enabled to participate fully in activities that are driven and developed with them and by them. This work is continually growing through participation in developmental training days, and peer support.

Please contact Jo Bagby at [email protected] to discuss the activities of the partnership and our model of working.

Additionally Thrive is involved in developing other aspects of volunteer led activity across the Birmingham and  Solihull and parts of Sandwell, Warwickshire and Staffordshire that tackles other issues.

These include:

Places of Welcome, Near Neighbours, Birmingham Poverty Truth Commission
