STEPS Pathways Charity
STEPS Pathways Charity is creating a brighter future for people with a disability and autism.
In 2017 the first boarding College for people with a disability and autism was opened thanks to funds raised through STEPS Pathways Charity, and our amazing community of supporters who shared our vision for a better, brighter future for people with a disability and autism.
Today many students have graduated from STEPS Pathways College into a life of independence, filled with meaningful friendships and connections, and with the skills to manage their support needs and maintain safe and healthy wellbeing.
Best of all our students graduate filled with hopes and dreams for the future, and the skills to make their dreams a reality.
