We don’t take walking for granted

Steps is the leading UK charity supporting everyone whose lives are touched by childhood lower limb conditions. For many families, a diagnosis can bring a whirlwind of questions, worry, and uncertainty — and that’s where we come in. We are the only charity dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by both common and rare lower limb conditions.

With over 45 years of experience, we’ve listened to families, learned from lived experience, and stood alongside parents, carers, and young people at every stage. We offer trusted information, emotional support, and practical guidance when decisions feel big and the road ahead feels unclear — helping you feel informed, reassured, and confident in the choices you make.

We work closely with hospitals and clinicians across the UK, and alongside families who have been there, to make sure you can access the right knowledge, support, and care at the right time. Together, we help families navigate appointments, treatments, and day-to-day life — so no one feels alone, and every step forward is taken with confidence.
