Here for You Every Step of the Way!
Buddies on hand to support and be your advocate for as long as you need.

The Banter and Brews are a hive of activity, inviting you along for a free breakfast and access to any support needed from STEPWAY or one of our working partnerships, including-
Veterans UK

Op-Courage
The Poppy Factory
Primary Care Network
At STEPWAY, we understand the challenges that civilian life can bring, and we’re here to help make it easier. We work hand-in-hand with a wide network of organisations and charities, including the DWP, Job Centres, housing services, food banks, debt advice providers, and military charities, among others. This means we’re ready to connect you with the right support, no matter what concerns you may have.
Whether it’s advice on housing, navigating benefits, managing debt, or just needing a listening ear – we’re here to guide you. And for those moments when you might feel uncertain about attending an appointment alone, our dedicated advocacy service is here for you. With STEPWAY, a trusted buddy can join you for appointments, easing any anxiety you may feel until you’re ready to go solo.
From your first step to your last, we’re here to make sure you feel supported every step of the way. Together, let’s tackle the challenges and build a brighter, more confident future.

If you would like to start a Banter and Brew near you and volunteer to be lead on that project please call our Regional Coordinator Neil Binder on 07398 732595
