THE niece of Tim Parry who was killed in the Warrington bombing is the latest recipient of an award named in the teenager's memory.

The Tim Parry Trophy is now back at home with the family after Evie Parry-Fields was presented with the award at Barrow Hall Community Primary School.

Every year since 1994, the school on Sophia Drive in Great Sankey has awarded a deserving year six student with the trophy for their hard work over the years.

Tim’s mum Wendy, who set up The Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Foundation for Peace along with her husband Colin following the attack, said: "Evie really deserves this award.

"Apart from always being a good student, she was involved in the 25th anniversary event to mark the bombing, where she spoke about Tim during the public service in front of hundreds of people, something most 11-year old's would shy away from.

“I'm so proud of all our grandchildren and I hope they will all be awarded the Tim Parry Trophy when their time comes around."

Tim, 12, was killed along with three-year-old Johnathan when two IRA bombs were detonated on Bridge Street 25 years ago.

Although Evie has never met her uncle, she has always been inquisitive about Tim and what happened on March 20, 1993.

Wendy added: "It was because Evie has always asked questions about her uncle Tim, that the foundation decided to write a children's book about the bombing.

"This book is used in our Small Steps for Peace programme which explains in simple terms, what happened to Tim and Johnathan.

"A number of Warrington schools are now using the book and the bombing in 1993 in their history lessons."

Throughout the past seven months, the Warrington Guardian has gone behind the scenes of the foundation for peace, which is our charity of the year, to discover its life-changing work.
