Taking the Next Step Together: How ABS Supports The Next Step Trust

At ABS, we’ve always believed that doing business “a better way” means more than delivering great work, it’s about making a positive difference in our community. That’s why we’re proud to support The Next Step Trust, an amazing local charity in Halifax that provides day services and care for adults with profound learning disabilities, complex health needs, and autism.

Why The Next Step Trust Inspires Us

Founded by parents and professionals in 2006, The Next Step Trust exists to give adults with complex needs opportunities that many of us take for granted. Their centres across Calderdale are full of life, laughter, and learning, whether it’s a hydrotherapy session, a music activity, a trip into the community, or simply enjoying time in their sensory rooms.

Every day, The Next Step Trust helps people live fuller, happier lives. They give independence where there might otherwise be limits, confidence where there might otherwise be doubt, and joy where there might otherwise be isolation. Witnessing this work up close is both humbling and inspiring.

How We Support Their Mission

Through the ABS Foundation, we provide financial support to help the charity continue its vital work. Our contributions help fund improvements to their facilities, develop accessible outdoor spaces, and create more enriching environments for those who attend their day services.

But it’s not just about funding. It’s about seeing our support translate into real, tangible benefits for the people who rely on these services.

Why It Matters

Supporting The Next Step Trust isn’t just about charity, it’s about community, inclusion, and connection. Every project, every donation, and every volunteer hour makes a difference. Adults who attend the Trust’s services gain new skills, friendships, and independence, while their families gain peace of mind and reassurance knowing their loved ones are cared for in a nurturing environment.

For us at ABS, this partnership is a reminder that when businesses and charities come together, amazing things can happen. Together, we’re helping people take their next step, and helping our community become stronger, kinder, and more inclusive.

Join Us

We encourage others in West Yorkshire to support The Next Step Trust, whether by donating, volunteering, or simply sharing their story. Every action helps, and together we can make sure everyone has the chance to live life to the fullest.
