The family of Elsie Dot Stancombe have launched a charity trust in memory of their daughter.
Elsie tragically lost her life in the July 2024 Southport attacks alongside Bebe King and Alice Aguiar.
Eight other children and two adults were also seriously injured that day.
Now Elsie’s parents have launched the Elsie Dot Story, a charitable trust they say will help to continue Elsie’s legacy and love of helping others.
Elsie’s parents said ”We want to continue Elsie’s ‘story’; her positivity, love for others and energy of life.
”The Trust has been established with the principle objective being to make grants to causes in Elsie’s name, the focus of which will be assistance to young people and support for others in the community and across the region
“This will include community projects, medical care and support for individuals and families, good causes involving fun, and bringing the community together.”
“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.”
“We love you Elsie always and forever.”
