What is Thrive Langton?
Thrive Langton is a community-led charity brought to life by a growing group of people who believe in the power of community for supporting well-being and emotional health. By connecting with each other and providing opportunities for everyone in Langton Green, we aim to encourage one another to nurture our own well-being and emotional health through art, music, learning, information-sharing, social interaction, engagement with nature and physical activity. The “Five Ways to Well-being” underpin everything we do.
