Aldershot Garrison showed their support for Step by Step once again by assisting us with a major project.  Major Lee Austin and two Cadets from Aldershot Garrison came to the aid of Step by Step, an Aldershot based charity supporting homeless and disadvantaged young people.

Major Austin and the Cadets assisted the staff and young people from Step by Step in creating an efficiently running food store.  By providing the shelving and materials necessary and the vision to make it happen the team spent a day sorting the food, thoroughly cleaning the food store before re-equipping and sorting the food.  The result is that Step by Step now have fantastic storage for donations and a system to ensure that food is used up in order of sell-by-date.  Staff can keep track of exactly what and how much we have left throughout the year.

Jenny Turner, Accommodation Projects Manager said; "I can't tell you how valuable the input from Lee and his team has been.  We have been struggling to establish a proper system in the food store for some time.  Although we always use our donations, the store itself proved difficult to manage and meant that it was hard for young people to find what they needed.  The new systems in place are proving to be very successful and a visit to the food store is a much nicer experience.  On behalf of the young people and staff of Step by Step I would like to thank the Aldershot Garrison for supporting us in this way."
