Are there plans to renew Thrive LDN’s ‘Right to Thrive’ grants scheme?

I have funded Thrive LDN’s Right to Thrive grant scheme since it was established in 2020. In the years since, grants have been given to community and grassroots mental health projects with and for London’s racialised or minoritised communities.

This year’s scheme, named the Right to Thrive Innovation Fund, was launched in November 2021. It has awarded grants totalling £120,000 to 14 innovative community and grassroots projects across London.

These projects are ongoing, having commenced in early 2022. They aim to support the mental health and wellbeing of those experiencing higher levels of unfair treatment and address recommendations set out in the Pandemic Stories report by Toynbee Hall.

Support for these communities will continue to be central to Thrive LDN’s work. Future planning for how we build upon initiatives that deliver this ambition is currently underway.
