C – Commit to showing up
Stay by their side over time, even when it’s awkward or hard, keep showing up in small, meaningful ways

Take positive steps to show solidarity through a social action project, put compassion into practice by making a visible difference in your school community

Step 2: Step Forward Together Social Action Campaign
Put learning into action by empowering your students to lead meaningful projects in solidarity with grieving young people.
Social Action Fundraising (preferred option)
We ask schools to commit to a minimum fundraising target of £500 as part of their participation. This can be raised through a student-led social action project, bringing the school community together to stand in solidarity with bereaved young people while raising funds to help us continue this vital work. By undertaking the social action fundraising option you are also completing STEP 2 – STEP FORWARD TOGETHER!
Alternative option – one-off donation:
If your school is unable to commit to a Step 2 Social Action fundraiser, you can choose instead to invest in the campaign with a suggested donation of £350 to cover the cost of the workshop and contribute to our wider work.
