WARRINGTON’S Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Foundation for Peace is offering assistance to people who may be affected by a new drama series on BBC television.
The series, “From There to Here” which started on Thursday, recreates the IRA bombing of Manchester almost 18 years ago when 200 people were injured, some seriously, and thousands more affected.
It stars Philip Glenister as a man who escapes unscathed from the blast – but finds his personal life wrenched in an unexpected direction as a result.
The flagship drama is likely to bring back memories of the Manchester bombing and the Foundation says it is available to assist anyone affected by the incident who feels they may want to contact them.
Jo Dover, who is a specialist working with victims and survivors of terrorism and political violence, said: “Victims of terrorism have experiences that often stay with them for their lifetime and the slightest reminder can affect them very deeply.
“They may need special assistance to take particular account of their needs.
“Survivors for Peace, is a project that assists 500 people who are either victims, survivors or affected by incidents like that in Manchester. Anyone who feels affected by the Manchester bombing can contact us for a confidential discussion to see how we can assist.”
The Foundation for Peace is the only organisation in Great Britain that works to prevent, resolve and respond to violent conflict such as terrorism and political violence including the legacy of ‘the Troubles.’ The Foundation’s project, Survivors for Peace, works with victims, survivors and those affected and is funded by the Office for Civil Society.
Anyone who would like help should contact 01925 581236 in office hours or e-mail [email protected]
