ABOUT KNOW YOUR WORTH

Know Your Worth was launched in 2021 to help young people, especially girls, grow in self-esteem. We have seen first-hand the struggles that many teens are facing both in school and the community, and want to help.

Debs Peake, the Charity Founder, has 10 years experience working as a secondary school teacher and mentoring teenage girls, and left teaching in 2021 to set up Know Your Worth.

Our content is of high quality and adaptable to meet the needs of those we work with. It is effective in helping teens in the community as well as in youth and school settings.

We would love to hear from you!

"The value that you give yourself often predetermines the value others give you."

Devina, 16

"What I love about the Know Your Worth course is that it gives me an hour and half in my day to really come to terms with my emotions. Learning that ‘every emotion is valuable’ and ‘every emotion is there for a reason’ was a turning point for me, as I always felt the need to invalidate how I felt all the time. At Know Your Worth, I was able to learn that I don’t always have to feel that way all the time."

Our Team

Founder

Debs Peake

Founding Know Your Worth is Debs' dream come true. She has always loved teaching, supporting and mentoring teens. After 10 years teaching in secondary education, and seeing first hand the needs in the classroom and on the housing estate where Debs lives and serves as a teen mentor, she left her job in teaching and focussed on establishing and setting up Know Your Worth. Her passion is to help raise self-esteem in teenage girls across Oxfordshire but hopefully in time, far wider than that...

Course Facilitator

Emilie Middleton

Emilie is an enthusiastic communicator and loves to use her voice to empower women of all ages. She is committed to championing girls and women in their uniqueness, gifts and dreams as well as being dedicated to seeing every woman discover more of who they were made to be.

As course facilitator at Know Your Worth, Emilie hopes to use her communication skills, love of spoken word and passion to see young lives transformed to make a positive impact on the self-esteem of the girls she and Debs work with.
