Southport Stands Together

The events of 29 July 2024 will not be forgotten. The three girls who lost their lives, and the injured survivors are forever in our thoughts. Being located so close to the incident, we wanted to ensure our outreach was concentrated on those who were most affected. With the generous stream of support from so many members and organisations in our community, we were able to help many people in our local area. You can read about some of our initial response here – Stepping Forward

We are now seeing people in our benefit advice service who are still dealing with the trauma and consequences of what happened. If you find yourself needing support from us or another local organisation, you can find some helpful links here – Useful Links or alternatively you can contact our team over the phone or via email and we’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.

If you are struggling and are in need of urgent mental health support, speak to someone without delay. You can find some useful information and resources here – Mental Health Support

Community Carols

Compassion Acts presents ‘A Little Bit of Christmas Joy’.

This Christmas the Victoria Centre will be transformed into a winter wonderland, with live carol performances from The Southport Salvation Army Band, St Philip’s Church of England Primary School and others.

There will be a variety of food, drink and craft stalls for the whole family plus the chance to sponsor a light for a loved one. All money raised through this event will go to supporting the work of Compassion Acts in the local community.
