We are delighted to announce the news that THRiVE co-ordinator Claire Humphrey has been seconded to the Department of Education to lead the new RAISE programme across Northern Ireland. RAISE is aimed at reducing educational disadvantage and helping children and young people fulfil their potential at school. Whilst we will miss Claire here at THRiVE we know that her wealth of experience and expertise in collective impact approaches and positive collaboration will benefit so many schools and communities.

Claire said “It’s been so good! I am delighted to have worked with you to build collaboration and together make a difference in this community. Fantastic to be around wonderful children, young people and parents as well as dedicated community workers, school staff and statutory services – I have loved working with you all. An opportunity now to use the learning from THRiVE to extend the impact for many other children and young people across NI through RAISE. Thank you all for your craic and hard work and massive commitment to helping kids thrive. Keep up the good work”

We wish Claire every success in leading the RAISE Programme (Department of Education).
