Find Out More About Our Projects


Learn and Thrive is a UK registered charity. Under this umbrella, we run two projects; Teach Me Too and Learning for Life. Each provides different areas of support for learners with Down’s syndrome and learning difficulties.

Early Years / KS1

Primary / Secondary


Learn and Thrive understand the barriers created by society when you have Down’s syndrome. We are dedicated to providing online tools to empower the community to smash through those barriers and live their best life!

Outdated stereotypes, poor understanding of specific learning needs, and a lack of access to services, all contribute to this group of people often not getting the support they need within their communities. Research shows us that people with Down’s syndrome are lifelong learners and that with targeted specific support, they can gain the vital skills needed to fully access their community and live life to the full.

Race for Friendship

In aid of the Learning for Life series, Caring Friendships, we held a dragon boat racing fundraiser!

Our trustees led the charge, and raised an incredible £14,400 for Learn and Thrive.

A challenging day, but filled with fun! Watch the video to see how it went, and to hear about the difference Learn and Thrive makes for children and young people with Down’s syndrome.
