Dear achternaam,

CONDOLENCE FROM THE BBGV CHAIRMAN

"I am sure that I can speak for all of us including BBGV members and clients to send our deepest sympathy to all the families and friends of those affected by the terrible attack in Manchester on Monday evening. Young people were particularly attracted to the event taking place in the MEN Arena and the pain and sadness felt by their families and friends at this time is incalculable. That lives were cut short all too soon and others affected by life changing injuries in such a friendly city is hard to comprehend. Manchester is close to much of the work of BBGV in the UK and close to Saddleworth where I spent my early years, our sympathy goes out to everyone living and working there."
