Why We Are Needed

Our Impact on the Community

The impact of Next Steps on local lives is significant. Many members arrive struggling with issues like depression and anxiety, but leave with renewed purpose. Some progress from participants to volunteers and even Trustees, actively shaping our organisation’s future.

Our success stems from fostering genuine relationships and encouraging personal strengths. We provide support in job searches, including references and interview coaching. The results have been remarkable, as many individuals move from struggle to meaningful employment and improved well-being. Next Steps is a nurturing community where individuals can truly flourish.
