South Hub
South Hub
The South Hub is led by the University of Portsmouth, with support from Arts University Bournemouth and the Southern Universities Network.
The South hub aims to connect schools and supporters of service children; foster collaboration and good practice that enables service children to thrive, and innovate with activity and approaches to achieve these aims.
Thriving Lives webinar series
In October 2023, the South Hub will launch a new webinar series aligned to the principles of the Thriving Lives Toolkit.
The webinar series will showcase best practice case studies from schools and colleges and highlight regional providers that can work with schools to deliver on the Thriving Lives principles - helping to connect schools, partners and providers.
