Young Gloucestershire's YG Hub on Tewkesbury High Street opened for two consecutive days to support young people impacted by the incident which took place on Monday (10 July).

Writing on Twitter, following the incident, the organisation said: "We'll be there with our mental health youth workers all day if young people want someone to talk to about today's events."

The hub, which typically offers services such as counselling and mentoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 5pm, also opened on the day of the stabbing to support those affected.

Tomorrow (Tues 11th), we're opening our doors at the Tewkesbury Hub from 9am - 5pm.

We'll be there with our mental health youth workers all day if young people want someone to talk to about today's events.
