Our Glitz, Glam & Giving event was an unforgettable evening, and we’re still buzzing from the energy, generosity, and joy shared by everyone who joined us!

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to:
Everyone who attended – you made the night so special.
Our generous sponsors – your support made this event possible.
All who donated – every pound raised brings us closer to our goals.
Our behind-the-scenes dream team – none of this could have happened without you.
Together, we raised over £10,000 – an amazing milestone that will directly support our Rebound Facility and Garden of Memories.

 

What we fundraised for:

At Next Step, we’ve always believed that meaningful goals are worth striving for. One of our earliest aspirations was to build our own Hydrotherapy Pool— a goal we proudly achieved during the challenges of the COVID pandemic, no mean feat! It wasn’t easy, but with persistence and purpose, we made it happen. Now, with that milestone behind us, we’re ready to set our sights on achieving our next dream.

We invite you to support two important initiatives that are close to our hearts and have a profound impact on the individuals that we support; a Rebound Facility and a Garden of Memories. We are currently seeking funding to bring these projects to life, each with its own unique purpose and meaningful impact on the lives of those we support.

The Rebound Facility will offer specialised therapy through the use of rebound trampolines in providing therapeutic exercise offering multiple benefits for those that we support. Rebound Therapy helps improve flexibility, coordination, and core stability, while also enhancing balance, posture, and muscle tone. It promotes independence, builds confidence with movement, and also encourages communication and concentration skills. Additionally, it offers a fun and engaging way to improve cardiovascular health, increase stamina, and alleviate tension. It can also have additional physiological benefits, such as stimulating the digestive system and improving bowel function. This facility will create a space for individuals to achieve greater physical and emotional well-being, while fostering a sense of achievement and joy through movement.

The Garden of Memories is an equally important project, designed to offer a peaceful, sensory-rich outdoor space for reflection and connection. This garden will not only serve as a tranquil environment for our Next Steppers but will also provide a special place to honour those that we have had to say goodbye to. It will feature a swing, which will offer a calming, therapeutic and fun experience for those who use it, helping to foster relaxation and emotional well-being. The Garden of Memories will be a space for healing, remembrance, and serenity, providing comfort to those who need it most.
