How is Thrive supporting the community...

  • We are delivering a range of outreach services and activities at community venues delivered by both professionals and young people.

  • We are taking Participation Work's Youth and Community van across Burnley in areas with no community facilities for young people to access support and mental health services.

  • These visits operate on a 4-week rota to build consistency and to develop relationships with the young people in those areas.

Our ask of the Community

Following on from what we’ve learned from our research with young people, here’s how we think you can help create a brighter future for Burnley.

Help spread the word about Thrive – follow us on social media and share what opportunities and activities are available.

Keep an eye out for local community hubs where you can access Thrive.

We need to create safe spaces for young people to talk and open up about their mental health. We want to be a part of providing more mental health support for young people in Burnley and break the stigma.
