About us
What is Next Steps Development?
Next Steps Development has been set up as a charity, with the aim to help young adults who are struggling to find or maintain employment or enjoy a healthy social life. We offer support to those with disabilities, mental health illness, or those on the community payback scheme.
We have a comprehensive volunteer base, all of whom have a wide ranging skill set. We provide various training opportunities, some of which are peer led by our senior learners, alongside a social programme with the goal to empower each individual and result in an increase in confidence and self-worth. We also provide job coaching and life skills training for all learners.
Projects
We are proud of every piece of work we do - from the smallest task to the largest of endeavours. Here are some of our biggest and most challenging jobs.
From supplying furniture for a brand new student accommodation project in Glasgow, to building an outdoor decking area for a local pub in Devon - we do it all, and always with a smile on our faces.
If you have an item that you would like to donate to Next Steps, please give us a ring to arrange. Your donations help support individuals who need our support.
