The Steeper Steps programme funded through Comic Relief will engage marginalised and excluded young women through a ‘Steeper Steps’ model.
The model consists of five progressive ‘steps’ whereby young women will take part in an emotional/psychological step through youth work practice and a physical step provided by our partner organisation Far and Wild.
Sport will be embedded in their lives more creatively, vulnerable young women (16 - 25 yrs) living with the risk of violence in their everyday lives, will have developed strategies & skills for keeping safe.
They will have access to new support networks and be more included in society; inspired to overcome and achieve the steeper steps they face to reach their full potential.
Beneficiaries will be those most vulnerable, marginalised young women (16-25 yrs), including young mothers, young travellers, LGBT young women, involved with social services (living in sheltered accommodation, homeless, estranged from families) and those living with mental health issues.
