Heidi Liddle

Dear everyone,

I am reaching out to raise funds for my beautiful friend Heidi, who, on the 29th July was the dance teacher involved in the tragic attack in Southport. She showed incredible bravery by ushering many children out of the building to safety and even locked children in the toilet to keep them safe. Although she may not agree, she is a hero! I know her thoughts are constantly with all the children and families that have been affected.

Heidi is the most kind hearted, compassionate, talented and selfless person which is why she is such a fantastic teaching assistant and dance teacher. She is absolutely devastated by what has happened and although she was physically unhurt, the emotional and mental distress of this day will never disappear. Because of this, support is needed so she can take the time she needs to heal without the added pressures of financial burdens, including that of specialist support to aid her recovery, and help provide for her young family.

Whilst being a part time teaching assistant and passionate self employed dance teacher, Heidi has inspired hundreds of children and young adults through dance shows, competitions, exams and festivals. She has built great relationships with many families over the years, and is very much loved by those she has touched. She is so thankful for all the supportive messages she has received, including those from the wider community.

Any contribution big or small is greatly appreciated and will make a huge difference in aiding her to navigate a journey of recovery.

Thank you for reading, for your kind words of support, your generosity and for keeping Heidi in your thoughts and prayers throughout this very difficult time.
