Thank you for helping our Stand Up For Southport Facebook group to pass 19,000 members!
We started this group just two years ago with the aim of: growing pride in our beautiful town; sharing great scenic pictures; providing a platform for local community groups and good causes; and encouraging people to support local businesses.
We are determined to encourage more ambassadors for Southport, telling the outside world how good our town is! We want to help to encourage new investment and attract new visitors and new customers into our town.
We have been astounded to see so many people embracing positivity and wanting to celebrate the very best of Southport. Please invite your friends and help us to reach 20,000 members!
If you would like to follow our other social media channels, we also have nearly 5,000 followers on Twitter, 4,000 on Instagram and others on YouTube and LinkedIn.
We also have our Stand Up For Southport website, where you can find all the latest news and features about positive new developments happening in Southport – watch out for some big news coming today!
Yesterday we shared the news about some exciting new attractions coming to Southport Pleasureland this year.
We published a showcase on 24 new developments coming to Southport during 2022.
We love to highlight local people achieving amazing things. Recently they have told the remarkable story of local mum Laura Cain, who has lost an astonishing 17 stone with the Slimming World with Dee group in Southport.
We love sport, and cover the latest news about Southport Football Club – what a remarkable run they are on! – Southport Rugby Football Club, as they celebrate their 150th anniversary this year, big golfing events, and other sports.
We want to share news about new businesses opening in Southport, such as our story about five new restaurants opening in Southport town centre in 2022.
We also enjoy celebrating the established businesses that we have here, such as all those shortlisted for this year’s prestigious Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards.

We want more visitors, more shoppers, more diners to come to Southport. Anything we publish, we also send out to other media across our region.
We are proud to play an active part in our community. We have been shortlisted for an award for the consultation work we carried out which helped to secure £38.5million in Town Deal funding for Southport; we were paid to promote Southport Market ahead of its opening, which saw 10,000 customers in its first 48 hours of opening; we worked for Beales ahead of their opening, which saw queues of shoppers along Lord Street waiting for the doors to open.
We are an active part of the Make A Change For Botanic campaign to improve the Botanic Gardens; are actively involved in the Community Link Foundation charity; have been working with Southport Royal British Legion to promote their new Southport Veterans Hub; and have taken part in events including the Queenscourt Hospice Santa Sprint.
Looking for what’s on? You will find lots of news about great events coming to town including Southport Flower Show, Southport Comedy Festival, Southport Air Show, and many others, as well as shows, pantomimes and exhibitions at local venues including The Atkinson, Southport Little Theatre, Southport Bijou Cinema and elsewhere.
We regularly take people back to Southport’s past with lots of old pictures of our town, and have our Stand Up For Southport Nostalgia Facebook page.
We support our local business community through our Stand Up For Southport Business Facebook page, while we are also proud supporters of the work being done by Southport BID.
We also share latest information from trusted logical organisations that people need to know, such as the continuing rollout of the Covid-19 vaccination programme.
What you won’t find on Stand Up For Southport – things like crime, clickbait, or articles or posts knocking Southport and damaging our town.
We would love to see more people joining our Stand Up For Southport community!
