About Us
Our Services
Let’s Thrive offers a range of specialist services and personalised support packages designed to meet the unique needs of each young person we work with.
Our goal is simple: to help every child feel safe, supported, and inspired to reach their potential. We believe that every young person, regardless of their challenges, deserves the opportunity to experience joy, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
Our tailored services include:
-
Short Breaks & Respite Care: Providing families with time to rest and recharge while ensuring consistent, nurturing care for their child.
-
Bespoke Interventions: Carefully designed plans based on individual goals, interests, and needs — helping children grow in confidence and capability.
-
Regulation & Behaviour Support: Proactive, compassionate guidance grounded in the Green Behaviour Scale framework to promote emotional security and prevent escalation.
Each package is flexible and responsive, developed in close collaboration with families and professionals to create a truly wraparound approach.
Our commitment is to deliver care that not only supports but enriches — creating an environment where every child has the opportunity to thrive.
Our Story
Founded by Rory Sanderson and Nathan Brown, Let’s Thrive was born out of a shared passion for creating inclusive, nurturing spaces for children with complex needs. With over 30 years of combined experience in the care and education sectors, our founders have built a service dedicated to empowering young people and supporting families.
At Let’s Thrive, our mission is to empower children with complex special needs by providing individualised support, expert guidance, and innovative interventions designed to enhance their quality of life.
Our ethos is built on empathy, collaboration, and the belief that every child has the right to feel valued and thrive. We use the Green Behaviour Scale to guide our practice, ensuring a proactive approach that prioritises well-being and reduces the need for restrictive practices.
We work closely with families, schools, and other professionals to ensure a joined-up, consistent approach that wraps support around each child. Whether through short breaks, bespoke interventions, or behaviour support, we aim to create environments where children feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow.
At Let’s Thrive, we don’t just offer care — we build meaningful, lasting change. We are committed to creating environments where children can truly flourish.
Meet The Team
Rory Sanderson
Director
Before stepping into the role of Director at Let’s Thrive Ltd, Rory spent over 20 years in the education sector, deeply committed to understanding and supporting children's behaviour and regulation.
With a first-class degree in Disability and Childhood Studies, a PGCE (with QTS) in Health and Social Care and Masters level NPQ in Senior leadership, his work has always been focused on making a positive impact on individuals’ lives.
Rory’s diverse teaching experience spans A-level psychology, Health and Social Care, and, most notably, Special Needs Education, where he has spent the majority of his career and holds a leadership role focused on Regulation and Behaviour. This blend of academic knowledge and hands-on experience has provided him with valuable insights into how people connect, express emotions, and navigate the world around them.
For over a decade, Rory has also been a Level 3 NAPPI (Non-Abusive Psychological and Physical Intervention) UK trainer. This role has allowed him to deliver specialist training in trauma-informed, RRN-compliant intervention strategies to a wide range of professionals, embedding safe, respectful, and effective practice wherever he works.
Known for his empathetic leadership style and unwavering commitment to authenticity, Rory has always strived to make a real difference in the lives of those he supports.
When he’s not working or spending time with his family, you’ll likely find him staying active—whether in the gym, mountain biking, or on the squash court. He believes maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to both personal well-being and effective leadership.
