Our Charitable Objects

To advance education for the public benefit, particularly for vulnerable and disadvantaged young people, including but not limited to Looked After Children, children experiencing trauma, and children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), through the provision of personalised tutoring, reading clubs, educational consultancy, trauma-informed support, and professional development in educational support for vulnerable learners.

Our charitable objects define the purpose for which Thrive Education exists. Everything we do must further these objects and serve the public benefit. Our focus on advancing education for vulnerable and disadvantaged young people ensures that our work directly benefits those who face the greatest barriers to educational success.

Who We Serve

Children with SEND

Disadvantaged Young People

Young people facing barriers to educational achievement due to poverty, inequality, or other circumstances.

Personalised one-to-one tutoring in core subjects and specialist areas
Reading clubs and literacy development programs
Educational consultancy and advice to schools and families
Trauma-informed educational support and mentoring
Support for examination preparation and academic achievement
