This Christmas your generosity has the power to go twice as far! Every £1 you donate before 31st December will be doubled.
An extremely generous individual has pledged to match all donations made to Stepping Stones DS from today until 31st December, up to a total of £10,000!
This means your gift will mean twice the joy, twice the support, and twice the difference for our families. Your generosity has the power to touch every aspect of their journey.

Support Us
Make a donation
We do not charge our members as we believe that there are enough extra costs involved with bringing up a child with additional needs, and also we do not want costs of an activity to prohibit any of our members from attending.
Because of this we have to raise thousands of pounds every month to keep running. We rely on the kind donations of supporters and our members’ fundraising efforts to keep running.
Just Giving
If you would like to make a one-off or regular donation to Stepping Stones DS the quickest and easiest way is through our Just Giving page.
