Next Steps Programme

Delivered by: Venture Trust
Last updated: 10/12/2025

Next Steps programme is for women aged 16+ whose backgrounds have led to their involvement in offending and the criminal justice system, or to experience homelessness or problem substance or alcohol use which may impact on their wellbeing, relationships and life circumstances.

We support individuals to identify the changes they want to make in their lives and develop goals to help achieve them. We offer community-based outreach support to identify and mitigate against any barriers prior to a supportive Wilderness Journey which focuses on supporting individuals to develop skills and strategies to cope with their situation at home.

We provide support for up to 9 months helping individuals to make and sustain connections to services and employment, education, training or volunteering opportunities within their communities.

Note: Venture Trust does not currently work with registered sex offenders or those subject to Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA).
