This Christmas, while many of us gather in warmth and comfort, young people across our communities are facing challenges no one their age should have to - from family breakdown and unsafe living conditions to emotional isolation and homelessness.
But they’re not giving up. These young people are showing strength, courage, and the will to build a better future.
You can help Step by Step provide young people with safe accommodation, counselling, life skills, and wellbeing support.
Please donate to our Take A Stand This Christmas appeal. Your gift offers not a handout, but a lifeline – empowering young people to strive towards a future in which they can truly shine and become heroes of their own story.
£33 provides a night of accommodation and specialist support. Please click the button below to make a donation.
Thank you for helping to change young lives, this Christmas and beyond.
Our short film, 18 Isn’t Cheaper, brings together lived experience, academic research and policy insight to show why the Universal Credit system leaves care leavers aged 18 to 24 at a significant disadvantage.
