Just like you budget monthly for your household expenses, Step by Step relies on regular income to offer consistent support to young people. Monthly donations allow us to plan ahead and deliver long-term support, including accommodation, counselling, and life skills programmes.
For a young person who’s experienced crisis or instability, that kind of consistency can be life-changing.
Knowing we can count on regular gifts helps us do more than just respond to emergencies — it helps us build. With predictable income, we can:
One-off donations require more processing and stewardship. With monthly giving, your support goes further because it’s more efficient. Less time chasing funding means more time spent directly supporting young people.
One-off gifts are brilliant for emergency response and fundraising drives. But monthly donations provide the backbone of our support. They’re the reason we can offer young people a warm bed not just tonight, but every night.
This is how regular giving helps: think of it like being the difference between a one-time rescue and long-term recovery.
Here’s what your monthly gift could achieve over a year:
Your monthly gift helps fund safe, stable housing for young people at risk of homelessness. With this support, they can focus on education, work and wellbeing instead of simply surviving.
Many young people we support have experienced trauma, anxiety or loss. Regular donations ensure we can offer consistent mental health support, through counselling and wellbeing services.
From budgeting and cooking to job searching and applying for college, your support helps young people build independence and resilience.
It’s quick and easy to become a regular giver. Simply visit our donation page, select the amount you’d like to give each month, and know that every pound is helping a young person take their next step.
You can update or cancel your gift at any time, and we’ll keep you informed about the impact you’re making.
When you give monthly, you’re not just making a donation - you’re taking a stand against youth homelessness and investing in a young person's future. And you can make even more of a difference with Gift Aid. Find out more here.
