About Us

Stepping Stones was founded in 2008 and became a registered charity in 2015. We support women experiencing domestic abuse. We also work with women at risk of offending or struggling with drug and alcohol abuse.

Our aim is to provide a safe and compassionate space where women can begin their journey of healing, empowerment, and renewal.

Our mission

Our mission is simple but powerful: to help women rebuild their lives and reclaim their futures. No woman should have to walk the path of recovery alone — and with us, she never will.

Our Approach

At the heart of our approach is the understanding that recovery is not just about leaving abuse behind, but about rebuilding lives — with dignity, strength, and hope. To support this journey, we offer therapeutic and educational support tailored to each woman’s needs. Find out more about our support for vulnerable women.

Our trustees

Stepping Stones is governed by a board of trustees. We also have a Charity Patron who helps raise awareness of our work.
