How you can help

Small Steps offers free sessions to all families. But in order to ensure we can continue to be a free service we rely on the generosity of supporters like you. There are lots of ways you can get involved – whether that's by donating, taking on an event or volunteering your time.

Ways to Support Us

Donate

Funding is vital to our service.  So if you would like to make a donation or give a regular monthly amount, it really will make a difference to the children and families that come to Small Steps.

Fundraise

Doing a fundraising event is another valuable way of supporting Small Steps.  You could do a sponsored event (marathons, walks, bike rides etc), have a car boot or cake sale. We can help you create a branded Fundraising page for any event.

Corporate Partner

There are lots of ways companies can support Small Steps. Whether you want to partner with us, or do some ad hoc fundraising, choose a way that suits you and your colleagues.

Give Back

Could you donate an everyday item that we frequently use at Small Steps? From toys to teabags and toilet roll, we always have a wishlist of items we need!

Legacy Giving

By leaving a gift to Small Steps in your Will, you will help us to give the young children at Small Steps the best chance to fulfil their potential and maximise their independence today, tomorrow and into the future.

Schools

Fundraising in schools is a wonderful way to teach children the importance of charitable giving from a young age. We have loads of ideas about how your school to support Small Steps.

How Your Donations Make an Impact

Our service has grown to help 30 times more children than when it began thanks to our amazing supporters and fundraisers

Every week, we provide expert support to 101 children with disabilities and their families - that’s 7,878 hours of session support each year.

In 2025 all parent carers said their child had learnt new physical skills as a result of our sessions.

How far does your money go?

Small Steps gives children the opportunity to develop their skills in looking, listening and communicating; as well as sitting, standing and stepping. It costs approximately £5000 for us to fund one disabled child to attend our sessions for a year. Every penny donated makes a difference and we make sure that your money goes as far as possible to help and support parents and their disabled child.
