Thrive - Using Gardening to change Lives of Disabled People

About Thrive

​

Thrive is a small national charity, founded in 1978, that uses gardening to change the lives of disabled people.

Our activities are varied but focus on championing the benefits of gardening to individuals and organisations, as well as teaching techniques and practical applications so that anyone with a disability can take part and enjoy gardening. A research programme underpins Thrive’s work to provide evidence and improve understanding.
Gardening can help individuals accomplish many things. It can help rebuild a person’s strength after an accident or illness, and can provide a purposeful activity for someone coping with a difficult period in their life.
Our Vision

To enable those touched by a disability to transform their lives using gardening.
Our Mission

Using our passion for the power of gardening to change the lives of people touched by a disability, Thrive will:
- teach practical and creative ways to use gardening
- learn more about how gardening helps people
- talk about what we do and how we help using gardening
- work with individuals and organisations
