A blog about all things digital at Luton Council
If THRIVE means Training, Health, Resilience, Inclusion, Vitality and Empowerment, then there’s a new hub to help!
Opened just over two months ago in Upper George Street, Thrive Hub Luton provides digital support, community-led education, skills development and creative programmes for Luton’s residents.
Updates from DDaT projects including OneDrive user adoption, frontline services, regulatory services, data governance purview pilot, workplace experience, people services and technology and infrastructure.
In addition to our DDaT away days, the whole of Luton's DDaT service gets together in person for our Quarterly Connect sessions. At its core, the session was about something simple but powerful: building a more connected, collaborative and high-performing digital community across the council.
In my last post, I wrote about how our new digital platform supports our Luton 2040 vision and why it matters. This update is about the progress we made in sprint 3 to make that platform more visible, more consistent and more ready for testing.
Skills, work experience and graduates were a focus for our director this week, along with potential plans for a mayoral authority. Read other updates on our projects across DDaT and Luton Council.

When a Children’s Ofsted inspection lands, the pressure is immediate. While frontline practice takes centre stage, there’s a huge amount happening behind the scenes to keep services running smoothly. That’s where DDAT comes in.
