THRIVE in Action – A Shared Vision for Croydon’s Children

Early Help & Family Hubs Board

29 Aug 2025

Aligning Ambition and Outcomes Across Services for Children and Families

Croydon is taking a bold step forward in transforming outcomes for children, young people, and families through the THRIVE System Ambition and Outcomes Framework. This work is not just about one service or sector—it’s about all of us, across health, education, social care, the voluntary sector, and beyond, working together with a shared purpose.


THRIVE gives us a common language and measurable outcomes to align our efforts. Whether you're supporting families in a school, clinic, community centre, or council service, this framework helps us focus on what matters most: ensuring children are safe, healthy, resilient, empowered, visible, and valued as individuals.


By embedding THRIVE into Early Help and Family Hubs, we’re creating a more integrated, responsive system. It enables us to co-design services with families, track the difference we’re making, and tackle persistent challenges together.


👉 What can you do?


  • Familiarise yourself with the THRIVE Ambition and Outcomes Framework

  • Talk with your team about how your work contributes to THRIVE

  • Identify one challenge where this approach could help

  • Join us at the upcoming workshop to share ideas and shape the next steps


Together, we can make Croydon a place where every child and young person truly thrives.
