about Connect & Thrive CIC

---

At Connect & Thrive, we believe every child deserves to feel seen, supported and equipped with the emotional tools they need to navigate life with confidence. Our Children’s Support Project offers a safe, compassionate space for young people aged 11–19 to explore their feelings, build resilience and regain a sense of balance and wellbeing.

Through a blend of evidence-based holistic approaches, creative tools and gentle therapeutic techniques, our qualified practitioners work 1:1 or in small groups with each young person. We tailor support to their individual needs, helping them understand themselves more deeply, manage challenges with greater ease and develop skills that will serve them far into adulthood.

As a registered charity, Connect & Thrive is committed to removing barriers to support. The café’s profits and community generosity help us offer funded sessions to children who need them most—ensuring that emotional wellbeing is accessible, inclusive and never out of reach.

If you feel inspired to support this work, you can make a donation—our link is available below. Every contribution directly funds support for a child in need.
