Many of you come to us seeking professional support to get through tough circumstances in your lives and we know that we are effective in providing this. We work with people as individuals, giving young adults the time they need to reach their immediate goals, without the time pressures that many other services impose.

Our offer over the last year Group Activities We've offered a range of opportunities for young adults to develop social relationships and build their confidence. At Esteem, young adults have been creative, active, outdoors, and importantly, had lots of fun. Between pill 23-24, 144young odults took port in our social eNJents ond Octi￿ltieS progromroe: Highlights from the year 20 Km Easter Hlkecompleted - Young adults and staff hiked together from Shoreham-By-Sea to Devils Dyke via Coombes Farm. 169 moals dolivored - Through our regular social sassions The Drop-ln and What You Doing Wednesday.

We've expanded our mentoring and counselling offer, and created new inclusive ways for young adults to access support. Highlights from the year Recruiting a trans counsellor- A trans counsellor was recruited to support LGBTQ+ young people in partnership with allsorts. New walk &talk sessions We launched 'walk and talk, informal wellbeing sessions to give young people another avenue to support their wellbeing outside of our counselling offer. Improved working systems- We restructured our mentoring and wellbeing projects to make them more effective, recruiting new staff to co-ordinate both. EStE 09 Connected Communities Young adults have token the lead in our organisation, making our community stronger and gaining essential skills in the process. Young adults have enhanced our participatory offer through new-look sessions and their own new projects. We have also continued to connect young adults to opportunities through community events, volunteering, and employment opportunities, inside and outside of Esteem. Young people have got involved in community events, and taken on paid and voluntary roles in our organisation. I met a whole friendship group, got myself a mentor and got involved with so many activities and projects. Highlights from the year Barlsta Tralnlng- 15 young adults completed our baristo training, gaining valuoble hospitality skills that will improve their employment prospects.

Internships and Work Exporlenco- Three young people joined our staff team as interns, and a number of young adults took on work experience opportunities in our media team. 10 A fair start to adulthood Throughout our opportunities, young adults can access the support they need to survive and cope with their life changes. We create safe spaces where anyone can belong, and make contributions that matter. Over time young adults develop the capacity to thrive in their adult lives in the long term, despite any inequities or complex borriers they foce. -1 lost my mum to cancer soon after I finished uni and a lew days later I was made homeless. I was in a new place without any support network but I was determined to turn my life around. I got in touch with Esteem soon after. When I walked into the Old School House for the first time, l immediately felt at home. The first person I met was a young adult around my age, Kazpa. We're still good friends five years on. I did some graphic design jobs for Esteem, and then started regularly volunteering with other young adults there. I met a whole friendship group. got myself a mentor and got involved with so many activities and projects. I got out of my awful retailjob, and now I work for a national children's Charity. And I'm still involved with Esteem, as their second lived experience trustee. Not every local young person Is glven a falr start to adulthood. There Is nothlng else Ilke Esteem out there, and we need your help for those hundreds of young adults out there In the community, who are still figuring things out and writing their stories.- Pixie- Trusteo and provious Esteam Young Adult Supporting each other to cope and thrive despite complex barriers Esteem provides a warm, non-judgemental space for around 240 young adults each year, many of whom face complex challenges and don't feel like they belong in other community spaces. We bridge thot gop, offering o supportive environment where young adults can form peer connections and receive help. -It's a lot harder to meet people now. After 18, you are left to your own devices and expected to go into the world without support. So, it s good to have support and help." Esteem Young Adult Everything we do is underpinned by an intersectional understanding of social barriers and oppression.. By valuing and opprecioting differences, and giving those on the margins a space where they can truly belong, Esteem gives young adults the space they need to maka and embad positiva changas in their lives. -Everyone is supportiv￿. Gender-wise. skin colour wise, what culture you re from, how much ol o weirdo you ore. No one ever feels normal, but when you're here you re oll one big family. No one judges you.- Esteem Young Adult -Esteem does feel like a family environment. It feels almost like a home. It's a place where young people can learn and grow. It s reassuring that there are people with their own/similar problems and Esteem is a place where young adults can work on their problems and grow together, and Esteem helps them in doing thot." Esteem Young Adult The young adults we work with face an average of four. intersecting social barriers. including: In this way, Esteem olso serves for a model of how we can thrive as o society..

That's why Esteem exists.- Esteam Young Adult 12 Esteem does feel like a family environment. It feels almost like a home. It s a place where young people can learn and grow. Esteem Young Adult 13 What we have learnt over the last year The participatory action research cycle of plonning, action, reflection ond evaluation is core to how Esteem operates, and our co- production and co-delivery work. Below are some of our kay reflections from the last year, laid out according to the strategic aims of our co-designed strategy which completed in 2024. Aim I: Involveyoung adults as partners in everything we do young adults, support needs, and even reviewed how Esteem delivers these Meaningfully involving young adults in strategy development requires resource participation projects themselves. This model of delivering discrete, time-limited Young adults have long been involved in our projects, separate to our everyday work with strategic planning but, without additional resource for this work, their involvement young adults, has allowed new members was not as meaningful as we envisaged. of the staff team to lead participation work, This year we substantially invested in this led to improvements in new areas of the organisation, and provided developmental process, by racruiting an external consultant opportunities to an even wider group of with specific expertise in co-production. The consultant worked with a group of young young adults. adults across several months, supporting them to influence our new strategic plan. Members of the group now have a much deeper understanding of the organisation as well as the strategy development process, and have now begun scrutinising our progress against our strategic aims. One size doesn't fit all in youth participation This year, we've launched an array of new projects, including the Creative Collective, What You Doing Wednesday, and Battles and Biscuits. Each has succeeded because they were developed by young adults in partnership with Esteem. But we've also learned one size doesn't fit all. Not oll involvement ond participotion work need be as'big. as this for young adults to feel in partnership with Esteem. Young adults have taken on practical tasks such as keeping the fridge clean, watering the plants and keeping their building tidy. We've found that facilitating different opportunities allows us to truly value everyone's contributions. Time-limited participation projects work for young adults, and for us This year we delivered a number of time- limited participation projects, and honed how we do these projects along the way. Young adults developed modules in our mentor training,. reviewed how we access and share personal intormation about 14 Aim 2: Create spaces foryoung adults to thrive Young Qdults tell us that one of the most important things Esteem . offers them is time.. Young adults feel passionate about Esteem staying in our home We've been in our building, The Old School House, for over 8 years, and it certainly feels like home to our staff team, and no doubt to the courgettes and tomatoes in our burgeoning vegetable patch. But this year we've learned just how important our building is to young adults who see The Old Young adults, especially our School House as a 'home away from home,. under18 cohort, wanted more Young adults have demonstrated this to us and to the Councillors at Adur and Worthing from us Council through their impassioned, dignified ond structured discussions around Young adults tell us that one of the most the sole of the building. We are delighted important things Esteem offers them is that the Council are working with us to find time. So this year, we increased the number a solution. of open-access, social sessions we offer, launched new vocational workshops in partnership with local businesses, and expanded our Holiday Activity & Food activities in school holidays. These new activities, and investment in our delivery team, have seen individual young adults accessing Esteem more often, and has driven a 39/0 increase in under-18s accessing Esteem. Equality, diversity and inclusion is a journey This year we saw a continued increase in young adults who identity as SEND or neurodiverse. Young adults helped us identify further adaptations we could make to the physical space, and how we can better communicate information. We also bolstered our team with training in autism awareness, and supported staff with qualitications in understanding SEND. However, although we secured anti-racist training for the staff team, we were not able to commence the longer term EDI project that we identified as an organisational need. We recognise this is a substantial piece of work and we are commencing this with expert external support next year. 15 Aim 3: Promote individual development and growth Our delivery team needed tweaking to improve our one-to-one support for young adults We can't do it on our own, and we don't! We've long championed community solidarity os central to our collective success, and we're lucky to have some This year we took a step back to ask incredible organisations in our locality oursalves if we had landed on the most with whom to do that. This year, though, effective team structure, taking into account we've really come to understand feedback from staff and young adults. As just how important these links are to a result, we made several changes to our outcomes for individual young adults counselling team, bringing in a dedicated at Esteem and beyond. For example, Counselling Manager, and several new we launched dedicated counselling for specialist counsellors. We also split one LGBTQ+ young adults, in partnership full-time role into two substantial part-time with long-term friends, Allsorts. The roles, a stand-alone Mentoring Coordinator sessions hove benefitted young odults and o new youth work role focusing on accessing both organisations, as well as vocational skills, in acknowledgement improving Esteem's ond Allsort's overall that Ihese projects had grown beyond the offer, and we simply couldn't have done acity of one individual. it on our own. 1.1 1111111,IIU 1llllll￿l 4, Aim 4: Develop an organisation that works as well as possible We had outgrown our central operations capacity For many years, as a smaller organisation, we coped with minimal central operations support. In time-honoured small charity fashion, everyone chipped in. But this year, as our expenditure has approached £500,000 we learned this had become a limiting factor, as well as an organisational risk. In response, we established a central operations team, with expertise in Human Resources ond Finance and in the process mode us fit for purpose for the years aheod. Our staff team love working at Esteem For the past few years we've asked our staff team to share how they feel about working at Esteem, in an annual staff satisfaction survey. This year the feedback from the team was extremely positive, as well os showing improvement in all areas compared to last year's results. In short, our staff team love working here. This is testament to the work we all do here to prioritise our individual and collective wellbeing. We understand that our collective happiness is vital to every aspect of our organisational function, and allows us to offer the best possible support to young adults. We needed to invest in our fundraising capacity NAuch like our prior approach to central operations support, we existed for many years without a dedicated fundraising function. This year, we decided this was no longer viable and invested in our first fundraising team which now leads on raising income from grant-giving organisations, and building relationships with individuals and companies in our community. Our Chief Off icer remains very much involved but has also had the capocity to lead on planning our capital compaign to raise the funds to secure our building. We understond that our collective happiness is vital to every ospect of our organisational function. 17 Securing our home & looking to the future Looking forward to the future, we have already implemented measures to prepare us for the next few years. theory of change, and clear strategic aims and goals for the next few years. Our strategy is already being implemented by our teom, with 6 month 'review' points boked in. Launching our 24-28 Strategy Road our strata her This year we co-produced our new strategy. Young adults, staff and trustees all contributed to the document which includes our updated mission and vision, Saving our youth centre In Spring 2023, we learnt of the council's plans to sell'The Old School House., our youth centre, and the last open-access permanent youth space in West Sussex. Young adults, staff and our wider community immediately came together to plan how to save our building. Over the next year, we will be launching our campaign to purchase th8 building, with a crowdfunder, planned to launch in Spring 2025.

This endowment is subject to the restrictions that this is secured in an Endowment Fund for five years and that it is not available to meet current operating expenditures but can be used to invest and generate income to further our charitable purposes. This generous endowment has provided Esteem with greater certainty and flexibility with regards to our income. After expenditures of £496,091, ESTEEM generated a net surplus of £121,318 for the year largely due to the endowment received. Total funds on 31st March 2024 were £292,747 (2023 £171,429), comprising £169,554 in unrestricted funds, £3,193 restricted funds and £120,000 endowment funds. ESTEEM'S principal funding comes from the National Lottary and charitable trusts and foundations. Fundraising events and voluntary donations make up the majority of the remaining income. Reserves policy ESTEEM maintains financial reserves to ensure the continuity of the quality and level of service provided to young adults. These resources enable the charity to respond to volatility in income and to cover unforeseen events or to explore opportunities. Over the coming five years, the trustees aim to build reserves sufficient to cover six months of operational costs, with the medium-term goal of maintaining reserves equivalent to three months of costs. As of March 31, 2024, ESTEEM'S free reserves were £134,554, equivolent to 3.4 months of operational costs. The trustees believe this level of reserves is sufficient considering secured funding, future fundraising plans and planned expenditures over the coming year. 20 REGISTERED CHARITY YUMBER: 1187128 UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 FOR ESTEEM Peter Jarnian LLP trading as P¢t¢r Jarman & Company l Harbour House Harbour Way Shorcham by Sca West Sussex BN43 5HZ 21 ESTEEM STRUCTURE.
