Delivery Partnership

At Learn and Thrive, we believe in the power of partnerships.

Our mission is simple: to give parent carers, charities and educators the tools they need to support people with Down’s syndrome and other learning difficulties effectively and efficiently.

By working together, we can create better opportunities and brighter futures for our community.

Is this for you?

Charities and non-profit groups

Already running our projects in your group, or want to start? Becoming a delivery partner is the next step. It's free.

Through groups like yours, we reach more children and young people across the UK. And we make your work easier.

Schools, colleges and statutory services

Delivery partnerships are for non-profits only. Schools, colleges and other statutory services can get full access through an Education Subscription.

What does being a delivery partner look like?

Your group is probably doing most of this already. We're here to help, guide and support you. In return, we'd love you to share your successes, challenges and journey with us.

Starting from scratch? We can help you set up a new group too.

A two-way partnership

We support your group. Your group helps us reach and support more of our community. Here's how each side fits together.

  1. We give you
