Southport Together: A Message To All

A message from Sefton Council

To our communities.

Our thoughts today, and always, are with the families of Bebe, Alice and Elsie Dot. They are also with those families of everyone involved and affected by the tragic events of July 29th.

We stand alongside every family. Every individual. Every hero. Every helper that responded that day and has done since.

We know today and the coming days will be especially traumatic and we ask you all to keep those affected in your thoughts at this awful time.

It is likely you will learn or hear of some incredibly traumatic and heartbreaking details of what happened that day.

Not only will this be incredibly upsetting but you may feel shocked and angry. We ask you to please give consideration before you post anything to social media if you are sharing your thoughts.

Support is on offer should the coming days cause you any distress or upset. If you have been affected by what you hear you can find a range of support at:

Please use this support and we again ask you to remain understanding, respectful and supportive of everyone involved at this incredibly difficult time.
