Every young person deserves a safe place to live, someone to talk to, and the chance to build a brighter future. Step by Step is working across the South of England to make that a reality. From Basingstoke to the New Forest, our local teams are helping young people take their next step with confidence.
Wherever you are, there's a way to get help, or be the hero who makes it possible.
We work in towns and communities across Hampshire, Surrey, Wiltshire, West Berkshire, West Sussex and Dorset.
