About Us

Community Hub for Adults with Learning Difficulties

STEPS provide a unique approach to enabling young people and adults (18+) who have learning disabilities and other support needs to achieve more and have greater independence, choice and fulfilment in their lives.  We are here so that people who need our support can fulfil their potential, enjoy their lives and be healthy and active in their local community.

Our Community Kitchen

Our community kitchen at our Allestree Site enables our team members to take part in planning, preparing and cooking meals together in a relaxed and supported environment. This helps team members gain real experience, develop new skills and increase their confidence, social and community connections.

Participating in Community Life

Our team members love to be out and about in the local community volunteering and helping in the community garden.  We practice travel training and money handling skills, alongside gaining the confidence to feel included in society.  Our main objective is to have FUN!!!!
