A brief history of the 
Stepping 
Stones Project
Stepping Stones was borne out of the realisation that there are many thousands of charities doing fantastic work in helping the disadvantaged to rebuild their lives, but that often the inability of their clients to access stable, quality housing means that this can be very difficult. Stepping Stones sources properties specifically to meet each individual charity’s needs, refurbishes them, and then maintains them on an on-going basis for the charity’s clients to live in.
We completed our pilot of the project (one four bedroom property) in April 2014. Today, we have partners running the project in Nottingham, Oxford, Leicester, Derby, Northampton, Sheffield, Blackpool, Burton, S.E. London, S. Wales and Belfast with another 51 partners in other areas looking to join the project. We have set ourselves the goal of housing 1,000 homeless and disadvantaged people in the next 7 years. Our longer-term vision is to eradicate homelessness globally.

November 2019 saw us smash our target of 100,000 nights where someone has slept in a Stepping Stones bed rather than on the streets or in a tent, a car or a shed! 

About Maddy 

Maddy has been a Stepping Stones partner since 2015 working with organisations across Northamptonshire to house clients who would otherwise find difficulty with housing. Since 2016 Maddy has been full time in Stepping Stones.
Having worked in the health sector as a Physiotherapist and in Further Education as a teacher Maddy has now worked with multiple investors and charities to support them in housing their homeless clients as well as providing training to other partners looking to run the Stepping Stones project in their area. 

About Richard 

Richard has been investing in property for over 7 years and believes everyone should have a place they can call home. He is passionate about making this a reality through the Stepping Stones Project and is currently partnering with charities across Lancashire to support vulnerable and disadvantaged people to gain access to safe and secure housing.

Richard studied Biology at Bristol University and has worked in health, nutrition, hospitality & employment sectors before embarking on his property journey. He enjoys coaching and mentoring other partners who are starting out in property alongside his commitments with Stepping Stones.

About Frank
Frank studied at Nottingham University and the University of Cambridge before working as a secondary school science teacher in inner-city Nottingham. Since 2007 Frank has worked full time in the property. He has helped individuals and partnerships ranging from first 
time investors wanting to invest in a single Buy-To-Let through to seasoned investors wanting to purchase properties each month. Frank has facilitated well over 100 transactions. During this time he has also built up his own personal portfolio of 40+ Buy-To-Let properties. From his offices in Derbyshire he runs a team of approximately 20 employees and sub-contractors.
Having been baptised in 2012, the following year Frank committed to using his property expertise to serve God by housing the homeless. Frank and Maddy now spend their time supporting the partners in their areas whilst building national partnerships to better serve the homeless and disadvantaged across the UK.
“Throughout the whole process Frank 
was always there on the end of the
