About Thea Collective
Thea Collective is informed by lived experience of the care system and professional practice within youth and third-sector settings.
This experience shapes how the work is designed, without claiming to represent every journey from care. The approach is reflective, grounded, and intentionally non-performative.
Thea Collective Works CIC is the organisation’s registered legal entity.
As a young person
If you’re care-experienced and thinking about support, you can contact us directly.
No referral.
No pressure.
No expectation that you’ve got it all figured out.
We’ll explain how we work before asking you anything.
For professionals and partners
For partnership conversations, pilot delivery, or commissioned work.
We are also partnering with employers around Scotland to offer apprenticeships and employment opportunities to care experienced young people in Scotland. If this is something you would like to get involved in, please get in touch!
For Referrals
We welcome referrals for care-experienced young people aged 16 to 25 living independently or preparing to do so.
Before referring, please ensure:
The young person is aware of the referral
They consent to being contacted
The support needed aligns with our scope
If you are unsure whether Thea Collective is the right fit, we are happy to have a chat before referring.
