About Us
Putting Young People at the Heart of Everything We Do
Strive To Care provides small, nurturing residential homes where children and young people receive personalised support from experienced care professionals.
Strive To Care
We run small bedded homes for children and young people with high staffing ratios to provide the care and support required. We are based in Greater Manchester.
Placements We Offer
We ideally provide long term placements, but we can accept emergency or short term placements if appropriate, based upon our impact assessment and matching assessment in the home. Strive To Care can accept placements for male children and young people.
Why Long Term Matters
We feel by having long term placements, we are able to allow ourselves the time to build a rapport with the children and young people, enabling us to get better outcomes for the children and young people in our care.


Care for Growth & Independence
The care we provide is delivered in a bespoke manner in partnership with our young people, with their local authorities and with the community. We have a staff team that provide care 24 hours a day.
A Nurturing Environment
Our service provides a caring and nurturing environment, allowing children and young people to thrive within their placement. Our homes are furnished and equipped to the highest standards, with ample space for young people to relax and have 'me time'.
Our Commitment
We strive to empower young people to broaden their social, emotional, independence and functional skills, enabling them to possess coping mechanisms for the future, and take steps towards resilience and wellbeing.
