We cannot provide all the services young people will need on our own. We can be the 'hub' which meets their core needs, but we will always need to draw on the services and support of others - indeed, we have actively tried to increase our range of partnerships in recent years. This helps us find services to meet specialised needs, and helps us improve the range and depth of options we can offer clients as they move on from Step by Step.

We are proud of our links with partner agencies and funders, and wish to thank them for their commitment to our clients.

Supporting People logo

The Supporting People programme offers vulnerable people the opportunity to improve their quality of life by providing a stable environment which enables greater independence. Working in partnership with local authorities, service users and support agencies (such as Step by Step), its aim is to deliver strategic, high quality, reliable housing-related services to complement existing care services.

Supporting People provide funding for several of our projects and services.

They enable young people at risk to escape the ‘no home-no job-no home’ cycle by delivering a holistic service that integrates accommodation with training, job search, personal support and motivation.
