Every year Alton Sixth Form students sleep out for a local charity called Step-by-Step. This organisation supports homeless people and are very close to our hearts and community here at school.

We can’t sleep out together this year at school owing to current restrictions, so we’re joining the “Sleep out at Yours” instead!

Step by Step is a local charity supporting young people who are going through hard times, including homelessness. They provide accommodation, personal development opportunities, and specialist support services to empower young people and prevent homelessness.

Last year raised Alton School raised £450 for Step by Step and the young people who had nowhere else to turn; so once again our students are giving up their beds for the night to make a real difference to vulnerable young people. We are sleeping out so that young people don't have to!
