The family of a “most caring and generous little girl” who was killed in the Southport stabbing attacks have set up ‘Elsie’s Story’, a charity, in her honour.
Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, died alongside Bebe King, six, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, after an attacker walked into a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club on 29 July.
Elsie’s family have set up Elsie’s Story, a charitable trust in the spirit of their daughter’s “positivity, love for others and energy of life”.
In a statement on Instagram, Elsie’s family said: “Elsie was the most caring and generous little girl and we have promised to not let this awful tragedy be in vain, and creating this trust is the start of this”.
It is hoped the trust will make grants in Elsie’s name to assist young people and support others in the community. “This will include community projects, medical care and support for individuals and families, good causes involving fun, and bringing the community together,” their statement added.
As part of the fund raising, a range of hoodies have been released. We are told that 19% of the sale price goes to the charity. If you would like to learn more, please Click HERE. This link is for a ‘Stand Up For Southport’ page as the charity does not yet have a website.
