Centre for Thriving Places is a place-based not-for-profit consultancy offering strategic support, research, training and tools that help put the wellbeing of people, place and planet centre stage.
We all deserve to live in a place where we can thrive. That means access to things that are fundamental to our wellbeing, like good health, secure livelihoods, decent housing, opportunities for learning, social connections and support, green spaces and clean air.
From local government leaders to community activists to local entrepreneurs, many people are doing great work to help their places fulfil their potential.
But their job is made much harder by outdated systems and ideas about the economy that embed inequalities, degrade our natural world and create more problems than they solve.
Centre for Thriving Places provides expert guidance, insight, practical tools and support to help you measure and grow the things that really matter to everyone’s lives. Our multidisciplinary teams help bring local decision makers and communities together to develop shared goals, and co-design policies, strategies and actions to achieve them.
We help you understand and map the pathways to developing a thriving place where you are. We do this by combining the best existing data and evidence with the wisdom and knowledge of local changemakers. We work with you to navigate obstacles, join up teams and resources and design practical routes to create greater wellbeing for all.
We work with people like you to help places to move through the cycle of engagement and exploration, measurement and understanding, improving and inspiring wider change. We provide a flexible, practical and achievable suite of support to local places across the UK interested in building fairer, more sustainable and resilient policies and practices.
