Stepping Out - Semi Independent Living

What does it do?

Stepping Out provides comprehensive semi-independent living services. Our projects are all located close to transport links and local amenities and are staffed up to 24 hours a day offering a high level, structured and supervised group living arrangement.

The provisions are ideal for those whom display challenging behaviour, Sexually Harmful Behaviour, Drug & alcohol abuse, sexualised behaviour, self-harm, suicidal tendencies, learning disabilities, aspergers syndrome and other high support need conditions.
