It is with both gratitude and sadness that we say goodbye to Esther Moody as she moves on from The Parish Trust.
Esther has been a valued part of The Parish Trust’s team since 2023 and during her time with us, Esther has worn many hats and embraced every role with care, commitment, and enthusiasm. From leading Lunch Club, Barista Training for young people, and serving as our Meals for Families chef, to her work as the Tommy’s Tots lead and Youth and Children’s Worker, Esther has played an integral part in the day-to-day life of the charity. Her flexibility and willingness to step in wherever she was needed made her a valued member of our team.
Esther has also been a familiar and trusted presence at our special events, trips, and days out, helping to create safe, joyful, and memorable experiences for the children, young people, and families that we serve. Esther is someone many could rely on, often offering kindness, encouragement, and a listening ear whenever it was needed.
Reflecting on Esther’s contribution, Rev. Dean Aaron Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, said:
“Esther has supported a number of projects across The Parish Trust during her time with us and has been a reliable presence within the team as organisational needs changed. I am grateful for the contribution she has made to the work of the charity, particularly in roles that involved supporting children, young people, and families. On behalf of The Parish Trust, I wish her every success as she moves on to her next chapter. She will be missed by all of us, and in particular by the children and young people who she has forged such a strong relationship with over the years.”
While we are sad to see Esther move on, we are incredibly thankful for all that she has given to The Parish Trust and for the impact she has had on the lives of those she has supported. She will be missed by staff, volunteers, and the families we serve.
We wholeheartedly support Esther in her future endeavours and wish her every success in the next chapter of her life. We are excited for all that 2026 holds for her, including the joyful milestone of her upcoming wedding following her recent engagement.
Thank you for everything, Esther, and best wishes for the future.
