About Black Thrive Global

We exist to change the odds stacked against Black people by embedding race equity into systemic change so that thriving is not the exception but the norm.

Black Thrive Global evolved from the work of the Black Thrive Lambeth Partnership, which was established in 2016 to address the inequalities that negatively impact the mental health and wellbeing of Black people. Black people’s cumulative exposure to negative experiences and poor outcomes are not unique to Lambeth and Black Thrive Global was founded in 2020 to address the detrimental outcomes for Black people of African and Caribbean descent wherever they may be located.

Black Thrive Lambeth – Communities Workstream Overview

The Communities Workstream sits at the heart of Black Thrive Lambeth’s model and is the primary mechanism through which the organisation remains deeply connected to Black residents across the borough. Covering communities from Waterloo to Central Hill Estate, the workstream focuses on Black adults and their wellbeing, ensuring that lived experience directly informs strategy, systems change, and service design.

This workstream is responsible for building, maintaining, and nurturing relationships at grassroots level—with residents, community leaders, and Black-led organisations doing vital work across Lambeth. It acts as a bridge between community insight and institutional decision-making, ensuring that Black voices are not only heard but embedded within policy and practice.

The Communities Workstream plays a critical role in:

· Creating and holding trusted community spaces for dialogue, healing, and collective action

· Supporting community-led initiatives and amplifying grassroots leadership

· Facilitating co-production between residents and statutory partners

· Translating community priorities into practical recommendations for systems change

The workstream also underpins Black Thrive Lambeth’s strong relationships with Lambeth Council and other statutory partners, providing a credible, community-informed route for collaboration and influence. Through this role, the Communities Workstream ensures Black Thrive Lambeth remains accountable to the people it exists to serve, while driving long-term improvements in wellbeing, equity, and outcomes for Black communities in Lambeth.
