WE MAKE A
STAND AGAINST VIOLENCE

Stand Against Violence works in communities throughout the UK to give people a chance to live in a world without violence.

The charity was established in 2005 in response to the murder of 17-year-old Lloyd Fouracre, who was beaten to death by a group of drunken youths.
