Multi-sport classes for children with additional and complex needs have been extended for 12 months after a sponsor swooped in to support the Little Champs.
The initial pilot project was launched in March with a grant from the Health Improvement Commission. Having proved to be a success, the new sponsorship deal with Wheeler Developments means that the Little Champs Superstars project can continue to grow.
The LC Superstars classes are a non-profit addition to the Little Champs business, which already delivers a range of weekly sports classes for toddlers aged two to four.
"The Superstars classes are really special to me, and setting them up has been a goal of mine for a while now," said Business Owner Laurel Le Tocq.
"Finding the right coaches to lead the classes, and the funding to be able to cover all the costs, was essential before I could get the pilot scheme going.
"Luckily, I found both of those things at the beginning of this year! I am so grateful to the Health Improvement Commission for taking a leap of faith and giving us the initial grant for the pilot project."
Pictured: The next block of classes is due to start on Saturday 5 June at Beau Sejour, 9am, for children aged two to 10 with additional and complex needs. Booking is essential as numbers are limited. Anyone interested in finding out more can contact Laurel on littlechampsgsy@outlook.com.
Mrs Le Tocq continued: "It means that I have now been able to prove how essential the classes are and it is amazing to know that we now have the backing of Wheeler Developments – a local, family, community-minded business - to take us through the next 12 months."
James Ridout, Director at Wheeler Developments, said: “As soon as we heard of the opportunity to support Laurel in ensuring LC Superstars can continue, we wanted to be involved.
"As an established local company, Laurel’s efforts hit right with our core values and we could not be prouder to sponsor the Little Champs Superstars for the coming year. We have witnessed first-hand how brilliant the Little Champs classes can be for kids and we look forward to seeing more children benefit from them."
