✨ Did you know? ✨

We’ve now delivered The Big Step to over 7,000 children! 🧡

But it doesn’t stop there – with parents included, that’s closer to 21,000 lives impacted.

It’s not just the children who benefit. By helping young people build confidence, tackle anxiety, and feel ready for secondary school, we’re also helping parents feel more confident about the process and less anxious about their child’s transition.

And no, they’re not asleep in this photo – just fully relaxed during our anxiety workshop! 🧘‍♂️😴

Starting secondary school can be daunting, but feedback like this shows just how impactful The Big Step is in making that transition smooth, exciting, and meaningful for students:

💬 "There are hundreds of children missing out on this, and it should be compulsory!"

💬 "My friends couldn't believe their school doesn't participate—they would jump at the chance!"

💬 "In his words, the children who didn’t attend were missing out."
