The government has announced a package of support for the communities of Liverpool and Knowsley in the wake of tragic shootings across the region.
Home Secretary Priti Patel said a £150,000 would be directed to the communities of Liverpool and Knowsley in the wake of the tragic shootings of the past week. The cash will provide specialist trauma informed support in nearby schools, as well as mental health provisions for those closely affected.
Following the horrific killings of Sam Rimmer, Ashley Dale and Olivia Pratt-Korbel in Merseyside within a week of each other, the Home Secretary is also announcing £350,000 to expand the ‘Clear, Hold, Build’ pilot to other areas in Merseyside affected by Serious and Organised Crime.
