ESB Chief Executive Tina Renshaw followed in Morrissey’s footsteps up to the famous Salford Lads Club to congratulate the young learners of RECLAIM, a Manchester based charity which promotes youth leadership initiatives and social change, on completion of their Speech to Inform pathway.

Tina added: “We are proud that we were able to offer these incredible learners from this local charity the chance to improve their speaking skills as part of our charitable outreach – and we wait in eager anticipation about what they will accomplish in the future”.

After presenting these inspiring young women with their certificates, Tina said: “I’m incredibly proud to meet the RECLAIM learners. These inspirational young women have now got a recognised qualification that proves they can speak clearly and with confidence”.

Katie Cosgrave, RECLAIM’s Alumni-Lead, echoed Tina’s sentiments: “After seeing the impact ESB has had on these young people, I feel it is incredibly important that we continue to do these qualifications here at RECLAIM. It demonstrates the clear need for oracy to be taught in schools as I truly believe communication is key to success, and I’m so proud to be a part of this pilot”.
