On behalf of the staff and trustees of English Speaking Board we send our heartfelt condolences, love and support to all those who are facing loss and heartache and those who are beginning a long road to recovery due to yesterday’s senseless attack. For 55 of our 70 years English Speaking Board was based in Southport and we were founded by two local residents. We remain a local business now in Ormskirk and have staff who are Southport residents. As an organisation working with children to build confidence we cannot comprehend what has happened as they did something that brought them joy and we stand together in support of our community and particularly the schools of those children affected. We offer our help in the days to come to support the local children and their schools affected in any way by yesterday’s tragic and devastating event.
