Co-Production

Nothing about me, without me

At ivolve, co-production isn’t a buzzword. It’s a belief – that the best care is shaped with people, not for them.

From daily support plans to national strategy, the voices of the people we support are at the heart of everything we do. We don’t just listen – we involve, invite, and act.

 

Introducing the Strive Together Committee

Our Strive Together Committee brings together people we support and colleagues from across ivolve. Formerly known as our “All Stars,” this group helps lead real change – from shaping policies to running events and developing new ideas.

It’s co-production in action. It’s about confidence, visibility, and ensuring every voice is heard.

“Being part of Strive Together has changed how I see myself. I have something to say - and people listen.”

How we co-produce across ivolve

Connections

We build tools and training to help colleagues truly connect with people – seeing them as individuals, not labels.

Opportunities

We create paid and voluntary roles for people with lived experience to contribute, review services and shape decisions. 

Innovation

We co-create solutions,
challenge old systems, and build new ways of working – from the ground up.

Our co-production pledge:

“Nothing about me, without me”
“Who I want, when I want”
“I have a place I call home”

Because people don’t just use our services – they define them.
