Our Vision

Stand Against Violence exists to prevent violence before it happens and help create safer, stronger communities for all.

Established in 2005 following the murder of 17-year-old Lloyd Fouracre, who was beaten to death by a group of drunken youths, his death inspired our mission to prevent others from experiencing the devastating impact of violence. We believe violence is not inevitable. By working with young people early, we can reduce risk, strengthen protective behaviours and challenge attitudes and behaviours that can lead to harm.

Our vision is a future where young people have the knowledge, skills and support to choose a life without violence.

How We Are Making A Difference

Helping educational venues create safer, stronger and more respectful communities

We provide evidence-informed, preventative education designed to address the root causes of harmful behaviour and reduce the risks that can lead to violence, exploitation and other forms of harm. Through early intervention, relationship education, art and drama therapy, and practical life skills, we help children and young people build resilience, develop emotional awareness and make safer, more positive choices, with skills to last a lifetime.

Our work supports schools to strengthen safeguarding, improve behaviour, promote respectful relationships and create positive cultures where every student has the opportunity to thrive.

Working within education to strengthen prevention

We recognise that there is no single solution to violence or harmful behaviour. Whether you are looking for a one-off intervention, a targeted programme for students at greater risk, or support as part of a wider culture-change strategy, we can work with you to identify the most appropriate approach.

Workplace Training

Prevent conflict. Protect your people. Strengthen your workplace

Conflict, bullying and harassment can have a significant impact on employee wellbeing, productivity and organisational culture. Our workplace training gives employees the confidence and practical skills to recognise, manage and de-escalate conflict before it escalates.

By promoting positive communication, healthy workplace relationships and early intervention, we help organisations create safer, more respectful and resilient working environments — protecting both their people and their organisation.

Together, we can prevent violence before it starts.

Every community is different, and the challenges facing young people can vary significantly.

Stand Against Violence works with educational providers to give flexible, engaging and impactful preventative education that responds to the needs of their students and wider community.

Let's work together to strengthen safeguarding, reduce risk and give young people the skills they need to build safer futures.
