About Black Thrive
Black Thrive Global (BTG) evolved from the work of the Black Thrive Lambeth Partnership, which was established in 2016. We exist to address the inequalities that negatively impact the mental health and wellbeing of Black people so that the thriving of Black communities is the norm.
Our guiding principle is that Black communities should be at the forefront of reimagining, redefining and co-creating a society where systemic racism and other oppressive systems have been dismantled so that they have fulfilling lives. We have two priorities – building a Black Thrive Research Institute and embedding race equity in systems change.
In September 2021 we launched our Thriving Futures Collective which has expanded the work of Black Thrive Lambeth and launched Black Thrive in Haringey and Birmingham, with Mind in Haringey and Catalyst4Change as our partners.
We have grown rapidly since 2021 and so still have a start-up culture and often deal with competing priorities at a fast pace.

The role also has responsibility for assisting in writing and delivering grant applications and bids to major funders to secure funding to support the work of the programme.

- Assess and enhance support structures provided by Black Thrive Global as a backbone organisation, determining the needs of localities and the available support resources available.
- Develop evidenced frameworks informed by locality learnings and research findings that contribute to creating nuanced models of race equity systems change.
- Identify and foster external collaboration opportunities and stay informed about relevant external projects, initiatives, research, policies and practices.
