Aldershot Open Day
7 March 2026
We are proud to be taking part in Eastleigh Pride 2026, joining the local community to celebrate diversity, inclusion, and the strength of LGBTQ+ young people.
You will find Step by Step at the event with a stall at Leigh Road Recreation Ground, and our team will also be walking in the Pride parade, standing visibly in support of young people and taking a stand against youth homelessness.
LGBTQ+ young people are at a higher risk of homelessness, often as a result of family breakdown, discrimination, or a lack of safe and supportive spaces. At Step by Step, we believe every young person deserves stability, acceptance, and the opportunity to build a positive future.
At Eastleigh Pride, we will be:
Raising awareness of youth homelessness and its impact on LGBTQ+ young people
Sharing information about how you can support local young people by becoming a Supported Lodgings host, foster carer, donor, or advocate
Celebrating Pride and the resilience of young people through positive, inclusive, and empowering activities
Whether you are attending Pride to celebrate, support, or learn more, we would love you to come and say hello at our stall. Our team will be there to chat, answer questions, and share how you can Be the Hero for a young person facing homelessness.
We're excited to announce a new partnership with Citizens Advice Rushmoor, bringing specialist advice directly to young people using our Launch service. This partnership removes the need for young people to navigate multiple agencies and ensures they can access the right help at the right time, in a familiar and trusted environment.
