The Cheese & Chilli Festival is dedicated to supporting a variety of charities and local initiatives. This year, we are proud to announce our partnership with Step By Step Charity, an incredible organisation focused on addressing youth homelessness and its root causes. Catering to individuals aged 11-25, Step By Step goes beyond mere shelter by helping young people discover their talents, set goals, and realise their potential.
What distinguishes Step By Step is its holistic approach. Alongside providing safe housing, the charity offers extensive support services aimed at empowering young individuals to successfully transition to independent living. This includes skill-building, mentorship, and personalised assistance to help them navigate the challenges they encounter.
With operations spanning Hampshire, Surrey, Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, and West Sussex, Step By Step is a crucial resource for creating lasting change and fostering hope for vulnerable youth.
33rd Management Ltd organised the inaugural Cheese and Chilli Festivals in 2014, providing family-oriented entertainment for those attending. There is usually a turnout of between 5,000 and 10,000 participants over the course of the weekend. The event offers an abundant array of products including Cheese and Chili, crafts, retail units, samples to savor, cooking presentations, demonstrations, as well as adult-centric and child-centric activities. Approximately 80 to 120 trade stands comprise each show.
