Can a community truly heal after unspeakable tragedy? The unwavering spirit of Southport shines through even in the darkest of times, as the Hart Space community centre, forever marked by the horrific events of July 2024, seeks to rebuild and relocate, carrying forward its mission of love and support.
The Hart Space, a cornerstone of support for new mothers and families in Southport, is embarking on a new chapter following the devastating knife attack that claimed the lives of three young children: Elsie Dot Stancombe, aged seven; Bebe King, aged six; and Alice da Silva Aguiar, aged nine. The tragedy, which unfolded on July 29, 2024, at a children's summer club holding a Taylor Swift-themed dance event on Hart Street, left the community reeling and searching for solace. Now, under the guidance of owner Jenie Scholes and with the support of Sefton Council, the Hart Space is preparing to move to a new venue, determined to continue its vital work in a safe and nurturing environment.
