EVENTS Events Supported Lodgings and Fostering Afternoon Tea, Southampton

22nd September 2026

Could you open your home to a young person near Southampton?

Join Step by Step for a friendly afternoon tea at Bursledon Village Hall to learn more about becoming a foster carer or providing Supported Lodgings for a young person who needs support and stability.

This informal event is designed to help you explore your options in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Whether you're seriously thinking about fostering or hosting, or just curious to find out more, our team will be there to guide you.

At the event you can:

  • Speak to people already supporting young people through fostering or Supported Lodgings
  • Learn about the different types of support available
  • Find out more about the training, guidance and support Step by Step provides
  • Enjoy tea, cake and conversation in a no-pressure setting

There's no commitment, just an opportunity to find out more and see whether this could be the right path for you.
