Overview

The Brotherhood of St. Laurence (BSL) is a social justice organisation working alongside people experiencing disadvantage to address the fundamental causes of poverty in Australia. Our purpose is to advance a fair Australia through leadership on policy reform, partnerships with communities, and the delivery of high-quality services.

Thrive Hub Seymour is a welcoming community space designed to help people build financial confidence, access support, and connect with opportunities for education, training, and employment. Thrive Hub provides practical tools and guidance to strengthen financial wellbeing and create pathways to a more secure future.

Previously known as the SEED Project (Sustaining Economic Empowerment and Dignity for Women), Thrive Hub Seymour continues this important work while expanding its reach. We will still offer dedicated women-only programs, but most services and activities are open to all genders, ensuring inclusivity and broad community support.

What Thrive Hub Seymour offers:

  • Financial capability coaching to help manage money and plan for the future
  • Workshops and programs to build skills, confidence, and resilience
  • Referral pathways to other community services and supports
  • Opportunities for education, training, and employment pathways

Located at 47 Anglesey Street, Seymour, Thrive Hub is a place where community members can learn, connect, and thrive. Becoming a Thrive Hub Participant provides access to hub facilities and regular updates on activities and opportunities.
