A funding page has been set up by local residents to support Cassie’s family in the wake of yesterdays tragic event were she was murdered whilst working in a town centre shop yesterday, Saturday 13 January.

Everyone who works in travel has been deeply upset about what has happened to a fellow travel colleague, Cassie Hayes, in Southport.

Cassie was the assistant manager at the TUI store and was well-known to many in travel.

Many of us never met Cassie but we *know* that if we did, we would have thought she was great. We know, because we work in travel.

We understand that Cassie had a daughter and so on behalf of everyone in travel I would like to propose that we come together and contribute to fund to help Cassie’s family as they see fit.

Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by this terrible incident, including all the TUI staff.
