Stand Against Violence

The original resources and workshops are aimed at secondary school students and other organisations that work with young people, and includes a short film, followed by interactive activities and discussion, all of which satisfy several sections of the national curriculum.

During the trial, Adam Fouracre, Lloyd's brother and the Taunton Deane community signed a petition, which was then presented to the Home Office Minister Paul Goggins at Downing Street.

Adam Fouracre then produced an education film as part of the Stand Against Violence campaign, which was funded by donations and a grant from Taunton Deane Borough Council, and was made with the help of people who gave their time and skills for free.

This moving, emotional short film aims to shock young people so they can see the harsh reality that is modern day violence.

After focusing on Lloyd’s story the film then becomes more general to give a clear, nationwide message about violence and how it is up to us to reduce it.

SAV promotes thi day online, using posters and distributing ribbons for people to wear to show support.

September will now become 'Make a Stand Month' where the charity encourages people to show support and make their own Stand Against Violence through awareness raising and fundraising activities[3] Working in conjunction with The Anne Frank Trust UK, SAV has given a talk in London to young people about SAV the campaign and how it began.
