Stand Against Violence aims to prevent violence, its long-term consequences and the grief of losing loved ones by delivering violence prevention workshops and talks with young people.
It 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.
We are the national charity for hospice care, supporting over 200 hospices in the UK. We believe that everyone matters throughout their life right up until they die, and that no one should die in avoidable pain or suffering.
Our aim is to make sure that everyone with a life limiting or terminal condition gets the very best care, and we believe hospices are critical to achieving this.
Collectively hospices in the UK care for around 360,000 people every year, and we work closely with them to support their vital work and to create a stronger voice for hospice care. We also support the development of hospice and palliative care worldwide.
