About Us
About Us:
Stepping Stones in the Community (SITC) was founded during the COVID-19 pandemic to support families and vulnerable residents across Sandwell and Birmingham. What began as delivering food parcels and collecting prescriptions has grown into a lasting community movement built on wellbeing, empowerment, and connection.
We’ve helped hundreds of residents through benefit and council tax applications, mental health ‘buddying’, and family support — while creating safe spaces for young people through our youth clubs, HAF holiday programmes, and sports sessions. We also bring parents and residents together through coffee mornings, wellbeing workshops, and cycling initiatives that encourage a more active lifestyle.
Since becoming a registered Community Interest Company (CIC), SITC continues to grow through partnerships with organisations such as British Triathlon, Cycling UK, and Transport for West Midlands, delivering activities that uplift people of all ages and backgrounds.
Our Mission:
We’re dedicated to improving lives by offering practical support, education, and inclusive opportunities for wellbeing. From tackling the cost-of-living crisis to promoting fitness, friendship, and mental resilience, we aim to empower individuals and strengthen our local community.
Every project we run, whether it’s a youth session, cycling event, or community coffee morning, is built around one goal: bringing people together to build confidence, connections, and a positive sense of belonging.
Our Aims:
Our aims are to create meaningful opportunities that strengthen our community and improve wellbeing across Sandwell, Birmingham, and the surrounding areas.
We aim to:
- Support local residents through advice, guidance, and practical help around health, welfare, and cost-of-living challenges.
- Provide safe, positive spaces for young people to grow in confidence through youth clubs, sports, and holiday programmes.
- Encourage active lifestyles through accessible cycling, boxing, and fitness sessions that bring people together.
- Promote social connection through coffee mornings, workshops, and events that reduce isolation and build friendships.
Everything we do is built around one goal — helping people of all ages and abilities feel supported, valued, and part of a stronger community.
