Positive Steps is a charitable trust that delivers a range of targeted and integrated services for young people, adults and families that recognises the diversity of the people with whom we work.
We are a unique organisation delivering a combination of statutory, voluntary and traded services – funded through local authority and charitable trust grants, charitable donations, contracts based on payment by results, and income generated through our trading arm – where all profits fund our charitable activity.
Our Purpose
We empower children, young people, adults and families in Greater Manchester to achieve their potential by building trusted relationships to develop skills, knowledge and confidence.
We’re excited to unveil our brand new Strategic Plan, a bold vision for how we’ll serve and uplift our communities in the years ahead. From innovative programs to deeper partnerships, this plan reflects our unwavering commitment to impact. Click the image below to explore the journey ahead!
You have gone above and beyond….. I feel like telling other organisations that I no longer require their support, because Positive Steps have helped me so much
“Thank you so much for all the support and kindness that your organisation has given to me. I’m especially grateful that each of the items you have provided are brand new, as many companies don’t offer this. It has been difficult to settle into my new home, but with your support, I feel like I’m not alone.

I am happy that there are places like this around for people who need help.
I would like to thank Service Support/Duty for being friendly & helpful. I am happy that there are places like this around for people who need help.
I would like Positive-Steps to recognise the dedication and commitment your employees bring to their roles
Positive-Steps as a whole not only empowers young individuals but also lays a strong foundation for the upcoming generations, and contribute positively to society. Your commitment to uplift the younger population is essential in creating a cycle of strength and positivity that can give back through time, ultimately shaping a brighter world for all.

Without Positive Steps she would not have been given the chance.
After weeks of interacting with Peter and Cynthia, my daughter is looking forward to having an interview with a view of getting her first work placement. I can’t thank both Peter and Cynthia enough for all their hard work, phone calls when promised, keeping me updated of progress and opportunities. Without Positive Steps she would not have been given the chance. Thank you, Positive Steps, and in particular Peter and Cynthia
I wouldn’t know where I would be without positive steps they have massively changed my life and helped me find a career in what I love to do.
First of all Cynthia greaves has been an amazing massive help in supporting me and encouraging me to gain confidence in myself to get out there and meet and speak to new people not only that she has been by my side though out the whole process and helped me achieve my goals in getting a job at the hospital, if this program and Cynthia wasn’t by my side I don’t know where I would be right now .
Positive steps and Cynthia deserve a massive 👏🏻for getting young people back in to education and helping out wherever possible
Thank you very much for everything you have done for me and to make my kids lives a lot better.
It was fantastic to see the great work being done at Positive Steps and meet young people who are really benefitting from the support on offer.
The traditional education path is not for everyone, and some young people can become disengaged if they are not offered the appropriate support. Thank you for having me! It was fantastic to see the help and support on offer for young people from across my constituency. Keep up the good work.
