Story
In September ESTEEM are facilitating a trip to France for 15 young adults. This trip will involve overcoming personal and physical challenges such as hiking, a range of activities, working in a group, exposure to new cultures, skills development and for some, it will be the first time visiting another country.
ESTEEM have been kindly donated accommodation for the group, however, in order to attend this trip, each young adult needs to raise £150 to cover food, travel, activities, insurance and staff support - can you help us reach our target?
ESTEEM have been walking this route, across the Pyrenees, with different groups for the last 8 years, 5-day stages at a time. This year we will be hiking for only 3 of the 5 days, enabling us to experience more of the french culture and local activities.
ESTEEM has seen the transformation that can take place for young adults on these trips.
"we started out as strangers and gradually became a family through all walking together on the hike." ~ Sophie (Young Adult Participant)
ESTEEM is a youth charity based in Sussex. We work with 14-26 year-olds, creating space for them to thrive through social activities, work experience, wellbeing and mentoring opportunities. We want to live in a world where every young adult is trusted, supported and respected as an active and powerful member of their community.
