In 2025 we launched our latest strategy – ‘Thriving Lives’.

Thriving Lives builds upon our previous preventative strategy, Going Upstream (see below). As a poverty reduction charity, we know that it is essential to support those in need, but more importantly we also need to find the root the causes of their problems and what led them to the position of needing such support, then put measures in place to prevent this.

Thriving Lives is all about going deeper and improving the performance of Compassion Acts. It is based on the thought that all of us deserve to do well, not to be fobbed off simply with well meaning advice to ‘be more resilient’ against inevitable future crises.  What our communities, households and individuals need is to live healthier, happier and more prosperous lives.
