We're excited to share this story from the Seymour Telegraph about Thrive Hub Seymour's new home!

While the article highlights our recent move, the story is really about the incredible partnerships, community connections and opportunities being created across Seymour.

Over the past six months, Thrive Hub Seymour has continued to build on the foundations of The SEED Project, supporting local people aged 16+ to access employment, education, training, volunteering and community participation opportunities. Alongside our community partners, we've also supported initiatives including the Seymour Community Program Directory, Women's Wardrobe, and local working groups focused on family violence prevention, education and employment, and lived experience.

Our new location at Shop 4, 30 Wallis Street, Seymour gives us greater capacity to bring people together, deliver workshops, strengthen partnerships and continue supporting community-led solutions that create real opportunities for local people.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey so far. We're looking forward to continuing to grow alongside our community.

From setbacks to success: Jeff's journey with Thrive Hub Seymour

When Jeff first connected with Thrive Hub Seymour, he was facing a range of personal challenges that were impacting his confidence, wellbeing and ability to move forward with his goals. Feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the future, taking the next step wasn't easy.

Working one-on-one with Development Coach Anna, Jeff began rebuilding his confidence through practical, personalised support. Together they tackled everyday barriers, from attending appointments and planning transport to navigating services and overcoming challenges as they arose.

As Jeff's confidence grew, so did his goals. With support to update his resume, strengthen his job-seeking skills and manage anxiety related to employment, Jeff was able to access volunteer opportunities in the local community. Through volunteering, he developed new skills, established routines, built valuable referee relationships and gained confidence in his abilities.

A strong partnership between Thrive Hub Seymour and local employment provider CVGT ensured Jeff received coordinated support every step of the way. After months of dedication and hard work, Jeff secured casual employment with a local employer and successfully transitioned into the workforce. Thrive Hub continued to support him with employment paperwork, technology access, transport assistance and practical planning to help reduce the stress of starting a new role.

Today, Jeff is proud of how far he has come and continues to build his independence and confidence through regular employment. 🌟

"Before I came to Thrive, I was really in the dumps. Anna has made me feel much better about myself and has made a real difference."

Jeff's story is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when personalised support, community connections and local partnerships come together.

🧡 Whether you're looking for work, training, education or your next opportunity, our Development Coaches can support you one-on-one.

Thrive Hub Seymour proudly supports Rotary Club of Seymour’s Say No to Domestic and Family Violence Monday Message.

This week’s message reminds us that men are part of the solution. Preventing family violence is everyone’s responsibility. Men can help create safer communities by modelling respectful relationships, challenging harmful attitudes and behaviours, and speaking up when something is not right.

Today, the Thrive Hub Seymour team spent time with WIRE strengthening our understanding of how to respond safely and respectfully when someone we are supporting shares that they are experiencing, or have experienced, family violence or financial abuse.

While Thrive Hub is not a specialist family violence service, we understand that people may first disclose their experiences to a service they already know and trust.
Creating a welcoming, people-centred and safe space can make a meaningful difference when someone finds the courage to speak about what they are experiencing or seek help.

Thank you to WIRE for sharing their knowledge with our team, and to Rotary Seymour for continuing to raise awareness and promote respect, accountability and safety in our community.

If you or someone you know is experiencing family violence, support is available:
