As a Society involved in our own community in Preston we were devastated to hear the news coming from Southport over the last few days. From our connections with many performing societies in the Southport area we know what a strong, caring and supportive community it is.

We send our love and support to our fellow performers and the wider Southport Community as we know you will stand together and care for each other. Our deepest love and thoughts are with the victims of the tragic attack, their families, the local heroes who stepped up and the emergency services who responded.

Stand strong Southport – you are loved and respected. We stand and applaud your courage.
