Over 34,000 of you emailed the Home Office and spread the word. Local press, councils and police took notice, and under pressure, we have just received the news that the venue has pulled the plug.

One year on from the Southport attack, we remember Alice, Elsie, and Bebe the three young girls whose lives were so cruelly taken at a summer dance class.
Their loss is still deeply felt, by loved ones, the community and by all of us who believe that hate and violence must never win.
