Our greatest contribution to communities is providing affordable homes that enable people to start and sustain good lives.
To support this, we have created Thrive GIVE - our commitment to corporate social responsibility - supporting our purpose to 'provide and manage housing that helps individuals and families secure a good quality, safe home that they can afford'.
GIVE is made up of four strands that utilise our business resources and partnerships for positive change and opportunities in the communities that we serve.
Our staff volunteering programme offers our time and expertise to projects and charities that benefit the communities where we work.
Thrive GIVE Community Grants provide funding to charities and community groups, enabling them to deliver new or additional services to our customers and other residents in our local communities.
We use customer data and information to identify organisations within the local community who are best placed to support our customers.
Our grant funding runs over three years. During 2024-27, funding was approved for:
- Citizens Advice Service (CAS) Debt and Budgeting Advice, providing money advice and budgeting support to customers who Thrive's Income Protection Team has referred
- Herts Mind Community Support Service, supporting customers with common and complex mental health needs.
Our commercial approach to delivering social value through contractual relationships with our private sector partners.
Thrive facilitates conversations between the nominated charities and our partners to identify what support is required and what can be provided.
