Steps to Work Support Appeal

You know I volunteer with young people aged 14+. They're not everybody's cup of tea but to me they all have such potential and if I can play even a small part in helping them find their way in the world, it is my passion to do so.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive.

And the Steps to Work programme at Strawberry Field offers those with learning difficulties or other barriers to employment their chance to get on in the world. By bringing diversity into the workplace these young adults enrich the workplace and in turn are enriched by it.

I'm not ever going to leap off a tall building or out of a perfectly good plane, but I can, and will, sleepout. It would be amazing if you felt able to support me, support them.

This is what Strawberry Field say:

Strawberry Field is a place to explore, unwind and dream in the place, which inspired one of the 20th century's greatest songwriters. The iconic site immortalised by John Lennon in The Beatles hit, Strawberry Fields Forever is now open to the public for the very first time. Previously the site of a Salvation Army childrens home where the young John Lennon played in the grounds, Strawberry Field now serves as a unique addition to Beatles tourism. The new site is home to an interactive visitor exhibition, caf, shop, calm garden spaces for spiritual reflection and - at its heart Steps at Strawberry Field, a series of programmes aimed at those with learning difficulties or other barriers to employment.
