Rae Brooks, chief executive of the Communities Foundation for Lancashire and Merseyside, said: “There is that community need that will go on for some months, even maybe years, where people will need to come to terms with what’s happened here.
“There will be a lot of community healing necessary so we’ll be looking to support local community initiatives to help young people, as well as the rest of the community, try to deal with their emotional wellness.”
