A huge thank you to That’s TV for featuring Steps Within and helping shine a light on recovery, mental health and the support available in our community 💜

Today some of our ladies took themselves off to The Wi******er Cathedral .

For many within the recovery community, it’s become a symbolic place of reflection, hope and gratitude — a reminder of how far recovery can take someone.

I love the bond these ladies have and the adventures they share .

STEPS WITHIN-OPENS - GOSPORT PRECINCT

Cllr Zoe Huggins BEM & I were invited to attend the official opening of the new support centre run jointly by Steps Within and Recovery Connections Hampshire right here in Gosport — and I’m glad we went.💞

These two organisations are doing extraordinary work. Together they provide supported accommodation, peer mentoring and confidence-building courses for people recovering from addiction and alcoholism — with a particular focus on vulnerable women.

The stats tell part of the story. Nationally, over 329,000 adults were in contact with drug and alcohol treatment services last year — the highest number since records began. And yet women make up only 32% of those in treatment, meaning so many are still falling through the gaps. Women in treatment are also more likely than men to be living with children, carrying huge additional pressure alongside their own recovery.

Sinead and her team have created something truly special — a safe, compassionate environment where women can rebuild their lives with dignity, confidence and hope. It was an honour to be at the opening on Thursday the 16th of May.

Today I had the pleasure of visiting the CV Community Hub and meeting Sinead, founder of Steps Within

It was inspiring to hear about the incredible work being done to support women in recovery by providing a safe, supportive environment focused on healing, empowerment, and connection.

Raising awareness of services like this is so important, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn more about the positive impact they are making in the community. 💜

The organisation supports women in early recovery through peer mentorship, therapy, and recovery-focused support services.

Today was all about self care, connection and trying something new 💙

Some of our Steps Within ladies took on the challenge of the ice bath and sauna experience with Plnge today — and smashed it! ❄️🔥

We had ginger shots, healthy snacks, lots of laughs and some amazing conversations. Recovery is about so much more than stopping substances, it’s about learning to look after ourselves mentally, physically and emotionally too.

So proud of all the ladies for stepping out of their comfort zones today 💪✨

Thank you PLNGE we would highly recommend

Smashing stress and hitting the mark 🎯💥

Our amazing ladies from Steps Within came together for a team-building day to remember—taking on a rage room and axe throwing! From letting off steam to cheering each other on, it was all about confidence, connection and trying something new together.

There was plenty of laughter, a few hidden talents uncovered and lots of support every step of the way 💜

Days like this show the power of coming together, lifting each other up and creating unforgettable memories.

So proud of our Julie today 💛

Julie has officially graduated from the Recovery Connections Ambassador Programme, and what an achievement it is. Her dedication, growth and commitment to her recovery journey has been incredible to witness.

This programme is all about giving back, supporting others and using lived experience to inspire change – and Julie truly embodies all of that.

We were so proud to have some of the Steps Within team there to support her on such a special day. Moments like this remind us exactly why we do what we do 🫶

Julie, you should be so proud of yourself. This is just the beginning ✨

What is Steps Within, really?

We could try to explain it—but it’s better coming from the women who live here and the people who walk alongside them every day.

Three questions. Real voices. Real recovery.

Sunshine, movement and smiles all round at our Zumba session 💃☀️

The energy in the room was amazing and it’s such a great way for our ladies to get active, build confidence and have fun together.

This will now be running every other week, and over the summer months we’ll be taking it outdoors to Walpole Park near the playground — making the most of the fresh air and longer days 🌿

Huge thank you to Esther Farley , our amazing Zumba instructor for bringing the energy and good vibes every session 💃✨
