Eugh!!

When you think about it, it's inevitable that well over 1,000 pairs of feet a year crossing the threshold at Esteem would deposit a fair bit of muck on our carpets.

Thanks to a very generous offer from , The Old School House is now sparkling with the benefit of clean carpets and rugs from top to toe without it costing the charity a penny!

The grime-busting duo of Kieran Harris and Catherine Tafft did a brilliant job, even tackling the awkward treads on our carpeted spiral staircase without a second thought.

Our HR & Operations Coordinator and Tea Maker Extraordinaire Rach made them each a cup of her famous brew on arrival, and off to work they went!

THANK YOU, Worthing Carpet Cleaners, we can't recommend you enough!

A man of few words, when asked to comment on the completion of their deep-clean crusade, Kieran said: "Thanks for the tea!"

"If I had to sum up my first year as CEO of Esteem, I think it would be this: two things can be true at once. This has been one of the hardest years of my career and also one of the best."

It's been one year since Emma stepped into the role of Chief Exec at Esteem, taking over the reins from Cat Vizor after an incredible 17 year run.

Emma was very familiar with Esteem, having spent 8 years in various roles within the charity and being an integral part of our growth and development during that time.

To celebrate her anniversary as CEO, we asked her to share some thoughts about her first year in post.

Esteem's values - developed with young adults - are Trust, Support, Respect

We've been thinking about how closely our partnership with Garfield Weston Foundation aligns with those values:

• Trusting us by giving multi-year funding🌟

• Supporting us by funding core work 🙌

• Respecting us by giving us unrestricted funding to direct where staff and young adults know it will have the greatest impact 💚

Thank you Garfield Weston Foundation for giving us your trust, support and respect, and empowering us to continue creating lasting, meaningful impact for young adults.

A huge thank you to all of the young adults who got involved in building our raft for Shoreham Raft Race this year. ⚓️

They decided to 'raise a'wormness about mental health', and did so in epic style.

The race team reflected that we all need to 'not let the worry worms' dig too deep, and they certainly succeeded with their excellent performance. 🪱

We came an Esteem best of not last, not second last, but third last this year!

One of the participants had this to say : "It was a very fun project and I would do it all again because It also had a impact on my wellbeing, it really took my mind of things. I thought it was such a unique idea, and we can carry the idea with us forever" 🌱

A big thank you to Willmott Dixon construction for helping fund the raft, Adur & Worthing Councils Thriving Together Fund for supporting our Esteem Team participation work and Shoreham Raft Race for another epic event!

See you all next year ⛵️

Learning new skills and getting familiar with DIY tools in our young women's group! 💪🪚

We went on a trip to Steyning to visit In Our Hands, a wonderful charity that is empowering women, girls and gender-diverse people through carpentry, building and DIY skills.

We had loads of fun learning how to use electric drills and saws to make our very own tea light holders (which we all got to take home after the session!). For a lot of us this was a completely new experience so we were grateful to be guided through the process in a supportive and inclusive space - we all picked it up pretty quickly!

A massive thank you to In Our Hands for running this fantastic workshop for us, we absolutely loved it! 💚
