Step Together helps people in need of support across the UK to take positive action to change their lives and the lives of others through community volunteering.
Working through a team of outreach workers we provide tailored one-to-one support to help individuals into volunteering placements that match their needs and interests, and help them develop the personal and practical skills required to build a more positive future.
Who we support
We work across England and Scotland, with a focus on helping those most in need of support. This includes:
Young people: leaving care; recovering from drug and alcohol misuse; young carers; at risk of homelessness and/or offending; or have experienced domestic violence and abuse.
Adults who face significant challenges as a result of: critical injury and mental trauma; leaving the criminal justice system; drug and alcohol misuse; long-term unemployed; mental ill-health; homelessness; isolation and disengagement with society.
Clients are referred from a wide range of partner agencies, including local councils, prisons and probation services, local community groups and support groups, and larger charities such as the St Giles Trust, Help for Heroes, and Action for Children.
What we do
We provide intensive one-to-one coaching to help individuals develop the self-belief, personal skills and attitudes to take control and move forwards with their lives.
We motivate and inspire individuals to volunteer in their communities, helping them to feel valued as contributing members of society and to build new social networks.
We find tailored volunteering placements to match the individual’s needs, interests and ambitions.
