Steps to Work

The Steps to Work programme reaches out to young adults aged 18 – 25 with learning difficulties or other barriers to employment.

Strawberry Field is a place to explore, unwind and dream in the place, which inspired one of the 20th century’s greatest songwriters.

The iconic site immortalised by John Lennon in The Beatles hit, Strawberry Fields Forever is now open to the public for the very first time.

Previously the site of a Salvation Army children’s home where the young John Lennon played in the grounds, Strawberry Field now serves as a unique addition to Beatles tourism.

The new site is home to an interactive visitor exhibition, cafe, shop, calm garden spaces for spiritual reflection and – at its heart Steps at Strawberry Field, a series of programmes aimed at those with learning difficulties or other barriers to employment.
