The Elsie’s Story charity has been “blown away” by the huge support they’ve received since launching a range of hoodies bearing the Elsie’s Story logo.
The hoodies come in a range of colours for both adults and children, in: stone, navy, airforce blue, heather grey, baby pink and black. They cost £30 for adults and £18 for children.
You can order by emailing: orders@elsiestory.org
Elsie Dot Stancombe’s parents set up the Charitable Trust in her memory in October last year to ensure they can “continue Elsie’s story”.
Elsie, aged seven, was one of three young girls who tragically died at a Taylor Swift themed dance and yoga class at the Hart Space in Southport on 29th July 2024.
Elsie’s parents, Jenni and Dave Stancombe will use all funds they raise to help young people and others in the community as they celebrate Elsie’s “positivity, love for others and energy for life”.
They are delighted by the response to launching their range of hoodies, saying: “Wow! We’ve been blown away by your support, over 250 orders in just one week! Thank you so much.

“The Trust has been established with the principle objective being to make grants to causes in Elsie’s name, the focus of which will be assistance to young people and support for others in the community and across the region.
“This will include community projects, medical care and support for individuals and families, good causes involving fun, and bringing the community together.”
