Thriving Communities Partnership aims to build deeper connections, networks for collaboration and platforms for collective learning and action to unite and shape a system around what works better for people. We do this because we understand that anyone can experience vulnerability over their lifetime...

• Individual - certain factors put people at a greater risk of experiencing vulnerability
• Organisational - organisations can either support people to thrive or increase harm when people experience crisis.
• Ecosystematic - society’s challenges have become more interconnected than ever before

Our Projects

Tackling vulnerability and hardship in the community is not an easy job. Working parallel isn't enough - collaboration on research and projects are vital to inform the way we support vulnerable communities and achieve our shared vision. At TCA, we inspire and facilitate collaboration across sectors; bringing governments, the community sector and businesses together on projects that identify and reduce vulnerability, strengthening our community and economy and innovating new ways of working that help address the root causes of vulnerability.

The Disaster Planning and Recovery research highlights the experiences of residential individuals, small businesses and frontline services to build a holistic understanding and identify how we might better prepare for and respond to a natural disaster.

The Fostering Financial Stability for People in Prison research explores the challenging experiences of people's financial journey through the prison system and identifying opportunities for collaborative action and positive change.

The Better Practice Scan is a self-assessment tool with nine modules, from foundational to leading practice. Developed through research and stakeholder consultation, it identifies areas for improvement and offers a pathway for organisational development

The Better Practice Guide: Staff awareness and training provides practical guidance for all organisations about current better practices for staff awareness and training.
