What is Sure STEPS?

Sure STEPS offers one-to-one and group support in Tower Hamlets for pregnant women, and mums of children aged under 5 who are living in challenging circumstances.

How does Sure STEPS work?

Sure STEPS provides support in two main ways:

• One-to-one peer support

We match parents with trained peer supporters who provide emotional and practical support, a listening ear, and encouragement. Our peer supporters are trained to make referrals if specialist support is needed. If you would like to make a referral for yourself or on behalf of someone else, please click the green button at the top of this page.

• WELLBEING GROUP FOR WOMEN - Tower Hamlets

Free drop-in sessions for women and their children to play and socialise together, followed by lunch. Our team offers individual digital and financial support in every session. Stay and play for children, with music, stories, and bubbles! We run this session every Friday in term-time, 10 am-1 pm at Collingwood Community Centre, Barnsley St, E1 5RB.
