Meet the Team

Johanna Aiyathurai - CEO

Meet Jo, the driving force behind Learn and Thrive, and our energetic CEO. Jo's a passionate advocate for the community, juggling parenthood with a teenage daughter who has Down's syndrome and two lively boys.

Her journey began in the NHS as a specialist Neurological Physiotherapist. Later, she ventured into entrepreneurship and even founded 21 Together, a charity dedicated to supporting Kent area families. More recently, she co-founded Learn and Thrive, aiming to ensure all young people with Down's syndrome access the specialist tools and support they need for vibrant lives.

For Jo, this isn't just a job – it's a lifestyle! 🌟
