Huge thanks to Jamie Ringham , Mark Ringham and Coaching for their amazing support of STEP. Mark hosted a fantastic snooker exhibition evening with snooker legends Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor, bringing together the local snooker community for a really special event.

As you can see from the photo, it’s not every day you get to stand beside two legends of the game!

Mark & Jamie very generously chose to donate the money raised from the evening to STEP, helping us continue supporting vulnerable children and young people in our community.

We are so grateful for your kindness and support — it really does make a difference. 💙

Thank you Jamie, Mark and everyone involved in making it such a great evening.

We are absolutely blown away by the generosity of MKM

While working tirelessly to get their fantastic new store open on 2nd March, they’ve also been raising funds for STEP... and in just TWO weeks they’ve raised and donated an incredible £1,500.

We truly can’t thank them enough.

To top it all off, they’ve chosen us as their charity partner for the next year. This partnership is going to make a massive difference to the lives of the children and young people we support.

Thank you so much to everyone at MKM — we’re so grateful and excited for the year ahead!

🌱 We’re delighted to share some great news! 🌱

STEP Swindon has received a £500 Community Grant from The Midcounties Co-operative, which will help us purchase essential gardening resources such as tools, seeds, compost, and watering equipment. These items will support our therapeutic group gardening sessions, help young people grow produce successfully, and ensure the long-term sustainability of our purpose-built garden. A huge thank you to Co-op and everyone who supports community grants – together we’re growing something really special 💚
