STEPS is a small national charity which provides valuable information, support, research and a voice for children and adults affected by lower limb conditions.

Twenty years ago, families of children with lower limb abnormalities had nowhere to turn. This was the situation Sue Banton found herself in following the birth of her son Daniel with club feet. The frustration and isolation she faced motivated her to set up steps as a self-help group in 1980. Eight years later, STEPS became a registered charity and now helps over 2,000 families a year.

STEPS' Mission: to drive forward the provision of quality support and information to empower everyone affected by lower limb conditions.

Karena is running a coffee morning for STEPS on 10 May 2008, 10am - 12noon, at Tom Hauley Room, Harbury Church, Church Street, Harbury. There will be: coffee, tea, cakes, jam, raffle, plants. Please support it by dropping in.

Karena is also organising a Quiz Night on Saturday, 13 September 2008, at Harbury - more details will follow.
