Supported Lodgings and Fostering Christmas Afternoon Tea, Basingstoke
3 December 2026
For many of us, Christmas is about family and a sense of belonging: a table set for everyone, a door that’s always open, and someone glad you’re there.
For young people facing homelessness, the festive season can look very different. Many will spend this Christmas without a family to gather round, a home to go to, or anyone expecting them.
You can change that. A gift from you this Christmas can be the reason a young person has somewhere warm to be, someone checking in on them, and proof that they matter to someone beyond these few days.
Step by Step offers safe places to live and the personalised support that turns a hard Christmas into the start of something better.
By donating to our Take a Stand This Christmas appeal, you help make sure a young person has somewhere to belong this Christmas, and someone standing beside them long after the decorations come down.
Take a Stand against youth homelessness this Christmas. Help a young person find somewhere they belong.
Thank you for standing with young people, this Christmas and beyond.
Seven young people from Step by Step recently swapped dry land for open water, spending five days crewing a yacht along the south coast with Ocean Youth Trust South.
