A mum from Sale has opened her own baby and toddler group for disadvantaged families after she was left ‘devastated’ by other sites closing nearby.
Helen Lord lives on the Sale West Estate and works part-time for Salford council’s safeguarding team – she remembers the ‘lifeline’ her local community centre was to her when her little ones were younger.
But after the pandemic, Sale West’s baby and toddler group did not reopen its doors.
