A project by Talbot House Support Centre

Thrive Project

Our support centre is a one stop shop for all the parents needs. We provide a drop-in as well as appointments, day trips, pampering, workshops, advice and much more.

Why they need our service

There are many adults with learning disabilities in Manchester being cared for by parents over the age of 50, many of whom are elderly. Thrive is an essential and sometimes life-saving service for those parents who are often isolated and lonely, for them to get the support they need.

Plan and expected results

We now have around 100 families on our Thrive database, and this list continues to grow. There are many parents and children we don't know about, and this motivates us to help as many people as possible get the support they need. We hope to reduce social isolation further, to help parents have plans in place for the child when they are no longer around, to provide more trips away for our older carers, and more.
