We help lift up Parents and Kids in Salford
"L'Escale Champion Group is very positive, it lets children know they are not alone and that they always have someone to turn to. It benefits in a lot of ways, you can do speeches like my daughter, it really raised her confidence. Positive mindsets and that they can do activities with us and not be bored and be more productive. I definitely recommend L'Escale Champion Group to join! Many children here in England are down. This community is giving hope to the younger generation. All of us are supporting the idea of L'Escale Champion Group because it is very positive, kids need people to push and motivate them. We are helping to encourage the children as much as we can. Since this group has started, I have noticed there has been a change."
"When I came to L'Escale Champion Group I learned that my confidence is a lot stronger than I thought it was. There are a lot of things that are good for children my age and elders at L'Escale Champion Group. The event was really fun as I've never done something like that before, so it was my first time. I think the speech I did was inspiring to other children. I would love to do something like it again."
