About Thrive

Who are we?

THRiVE is a collaboration of local parents, schools, community groups and statutory and voluntary organisations working together to help children and young people in Rathcoole and Monkstown to do well and THRiVE.

THRiVE wants children and young people to do well. Courtney Cooper talks about getting involved with THRiVE partner Monkstown Boxing Club, and how having the support of her mentor Amy helped her to find her own strength and do well…listen to her story here…

The Thrive Matrix

Lots of community conversations helped us reach agreement about four key priorities for THRiVE: Aspiration, Attainment, Well-being and Collaboration

We have secured the support of a wide range of funders we call our Collaborative Investors who are investing in working together for the good of children and young people.

Big shoutout to Mike Crone Art & Design for designing our Matrix.

Essential Phase
These are the activities we wanted to do first and we are delighted that we have secured funding for this. Barnardo’s, Monkstown Boxing Club, all seven THRiVE schools, our sub-groups and other community organisations are currently implementing this phase.
