THRIVE

At Thrive, we work with the busnesses and organisations that are focused on improving people's lives, strengthening communities, and shaping a more sustainable future. We call these organisations the forces that move life forward.

SECTORS

We work with Charity and Non-Profit, Fitness and Wellness, Health and Social Care, and Sustainability organisations and businesses. Our work helps drive efficiencies, identify improvements, and scale impact by turning complexity into clarity.

Explore the sectors we work with:

Charities exist to change lives, but funding is tougher, expectations are higher, and keeping up with digital change can feel relentless. Making progress takes clarity, focus and the confidence to act.
People expect more personalisation, more value, and more authenticity from fitness and wellness businesses. Competition is fierce, attention is fragmented, and technology is reshaping attitudes and behaviours.
Pressures on Health and Social Care providers continue to grow, with rising demand, limited resources, and the ongoing need to balance care with compliance.
Businesses and organisations are under pressure to prove their purpose, demonstrate impact and operate responsibly, while still driving performance and growth.

SERVICES

Combining Experience Design, Service Design, Innovation and Technology, and Marketing and Media, we help to identify opportunities that unlock growth, improve how you operate, provide better services, and enhance the experience you provide.

SERVICE DESIGN for charities

One of the biggest challenges charities face is knowing how to provide a better service to beneficiaries. This requires a detailed analysis of many areas of the organisation, including people, processes, systems, data and technology. This can feel overwhelming, which is why we’ve created a clear guide that explains the process and helps you decide whether to do the work yourself or bring in our support.

If you would like a copy, simply send an email to hello@andwethrive.co.uk from your charity email address, and we'll sort you out with access to it.

"Thrive has completely transformed my business, elevating our brand and levelling the playing field. Our growth this year has been astronomical and we’re only getting started."

Most organisations say they are people-centred, but fewer can confidently say they are place-centred.

At Thrive, our consulting work starts from a simple belief: sustainable growth doesn’t come from isolated initiatives. It comes from creating the right conditions for people, systems, and ideas to work together.

For UK charities delivering services to beneficiaries, service design isn't another project to add to the list. It's the foundation from which everything else naturally stems.

As systems become faster, smarter, and more efficient, the greatest risk organisations face isn't technical failure, it's emotional disconnection with the very people they serve. When people feel processed instead of understood, optimised instead of cared for, the damage is subtle but profound. Trust erodes, loyalty weakens and purpose starts to feel performative.

Service design is particularly effective at surfacing culture because it starts with outcomes rather than intentions. When you map what actually happens when a customer tries to change their address, or book an appointment, or resolve a complaint, you can't help but see the organisational reality that produced that experience.
