Strive is how we help people flourish
Care isn’t just about keeping people safe. It’s about creating lives filled with purpose, confidence and joy. That’s where Strive comes in.
Strive is the ivolve way – our unique model of care and support. It’s proactive, person-led and designed around the real outcomes that matter in everyday life.
Every person we support benefits from this approach and it underpins everything we do at ivolve, so we can help more people lead flourishing lives.
What is Strive?
Strive is our tiered model of support that ensures people receive the right support at the right time – from everyday support through to highly specialist input where needed.
Our approach is built on five key foundations:
- Active Support
- Health and Wellbeing
- Total Communication
- Capable Environments
- Trauma-Informed Practice
These foundations help people live busy, meaningful and fulfilling lives, while reducing distress and increasing confidence.
Tier 1 - For everyone
Support delivered by highly trained teams, focused on engagement, wellbeing and independence.
Tier 2 - For some
Enhanced support, specialist guidance and targeted interventions when people need additional help.
Tier 3 - For a few
Highly specialist, multi-disciplinary input for people with the most complex needs.

Strive in action
Strive isn’t just a framework on paper. It’s built into everyday life across ivolve. We measure the impact of Strive using our iStrive pathways that track progress across the areas that matter most in life. These include:
- Health and wellbeing
- Safety and stability
- Relationships and connection
- Choice and independence
- Opportunities and purpose
- Having a real home
- Financial independence
These outcomes and changes to our approach are co-developed with the people we support through our Strive Together Committees and reflect what people say matters most in life. This helps us support the whole person, not just their needs.
Every goal, activity and support plan is shaped around outcomes. From small everyday steps to life-changing milestones, Strive helps people grow in confidence and independence.
Because great support isn’t just about today. It’s about helping people flourish long into the future.
"I feel like this is my home. I’ve got people around me who understand me and help me do the things I want to do."
