Since working with Underscore, Thrive at five have continued to support over 644,000 young people with a network of 52,000+ members. Total gross income for the charity grew from £1.40 million to £1.78 million in just 2 years. The UK-based Charity have demonstrated significant improvements in child development with 97% of participating children improving their language communication skills. Helping children build strong foundations for life, Thrive at five were also able to half the number of children with severe language delays in targeted, dropping from 39% to 19% in just 2 years.
Schools using the Thrive approach have 27% fewer exclusions than the national average, 3% lower school absence and a 5% improvement in teacher wellbeing within 1 academic year.
Thrive at Five is a collective impact initiative, aiming to help children in disadvantaged communities achieve improvements in school readiness. We created a brand world approach for this target group in order to get a feel for their wants and needs and this involved a review of all associated lifestyle connections they may currently have.
The outcome was a colourful eye catching and playful brand style that carried a serious message notably that parents’ views can be used to inform strategies for early years support and ensuring that local early years strategies are informed by evidence and science.
With the focus of their programme being so clearly mapped out as offering positive benefits for the community, it was vital that we understood the behavioural patterns of this group in order to more clearly speak their language.
Assessments by the national Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) of a child’s physical, social and emotional, and cognitive development have found that children from low-income families are less likely to develop positively across social, emotional, cognitive, and physical measures by the end of the age of 5 compared to their more advantaged peers and acting to address the problem has been challenging.
Underscore were appointed to help them simplify and articulate their programme benefits in ways that would be engaging for multiple audience groups.
