Landmarks to light up pink after Southport knife attack

It comes after the Southport Stronger Together appeal was launched by the Community Foundation for Merseyside, in partnership with Sefton Council and Sefton Council for Voluntary Service (CVS).

The appeal, which was launched with a £50,000 donation from the Liverpool ONE Foundation, aims to help those experiencing bereavement, serious injury, hardship or psychological issues who were directly impacted by the attack.

It will also offer help to community organisations working in the Merseyside town.

By Friday morning more than £76,000 had been raised.

The appeal is one of a number set up in the wake of the attack.

The Southport Dance Group Emergency Fund had raised more than £88,000 by Friday, with donations including £10,000 from former Liverpool footballer Steven Gerrard and a donation of the same amount from Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon.

More than £340,000 was raised by Taylor Swift fans who came together to raise money for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.

Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 17, from Banks in Lancashire, appeared in court on Thursday charged with murder and attempted murders.

He was remanded into youth detention accommodation.
