What is #Thrive?

#Thrive is for children and young people aged up to 19 years.
You must live, or be registered with a GP practice (doctor), in Heywood, Middleton or Rochdale.
They can also provide advice and support to parents, carers and anyone that works with a child or young person.

Types of support

They have lots of different types of support to help you. Thrive can also offer advice to improve your general lifestyle, including exercise, diet and many other things.
They can provide this support in lots of different ways. They will always talk to you about what support will best meet your needs.

#Thrive can offer more traditional types of support, such as one-to-one or group counselling sessions, or online courses. They can also signpost and help you access other types of support, such as sport, drama, music or art.  

If Thrive aren’t able to offer the right support, they can decide together what other options are available.

It is important to have a good support network around you, so they will always try to involve those who love and care for you (or who work with you) in any support we provide. This does not necessarily need to be your parents or siblings – it can be anyone who you trust, who provides support and care to you.

Opening times and how to find us

Their central hub is called Around the Corner.  It is based at 48-50 Drake Street, Rochdale, OL16 1NT.  It is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

They hold lots of drop-in sessions here, where you can talk to them about how you are feeling and find out what support they can offer you. 

Their drop-in sessions are:

Aged 8 to 19 years (if you are under 13 years, please bring a parent or carer with you):

• Tuesdays and Thursdays, between 4pm and 8pm (last session at 7.30pm)

Sessions are allocated on a first come, first served basis.

If you need support outside of these times, you can contact us at the number below (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm).

We have an onsite cafe at Around the Corner, serving hot and cold drinks.

Who runs the service?

The service is run by Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, Youth in Mind and  Link4Life.

To make sure the service meets your needs, they are working with young people, parents, carers and professionals.  The service is funded by NHS Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale Clinical Commissioning Group and Rochdale Borough Council.
