EVENTS Events Supported Lodgings and Fostering Christmas Afternoon Tea, Basingstoke

3rd December 2026

Find Out About Fostering and Supported Lodgings in Basingstoke this Christmas

Join Step by Step at Brookvale Village Hall for a Christmas afternoon tea and discover how you could foster or offer Supported Lodgings to a young person in Basingstoke who needs a stable, supportive home.

It's a relaxed, informal afternoon with plenty of time to chat. Maybe you've been weighing up fostering or hosting for a while, or perhaps you're simply curious. Either way, our team will be on hand to answer your questions.

While you're there, you can:

  • Hear from people who already support young people through fostering or Supported Lodgings
  • Understand the different ways you could offer support
  • Discover the training, guidance and support you'd receive from Step by Step
  • Settle in with a cuppa and a slice of cake, with no pressure at all

Coming along doesn't commit you to anything. It's simply a chance to ask questions and see whether fostering or hosting feels right for you.
