The Trust was created following the murder of 20-year-old Hollie Gazzard in 2014 by an ex-partner. HGT helps reduce domestic violence through creating and delivering programmes on domestic abuse and promoting healthy relationships to schools and colleges. In addition, it funds hairdressing training for young people who may not otherwise have the funds to study – Hollie was passionate about hairdressing and HGT enables others to follow their dream.
The Hollie Gazzard Trust also campaigns to reduce anti-social behaviour and knife crime.
The ultimate aim of the Trust is to positively change the lives of young people through partnerships in communities, as well as working alongside other charities and professional agencies.
HGT was set up by Hollie’s parents, Nick and Mandy, and her sister Chloe.

💜 A reminder that our Walk 4 Hollie 🥾🥾 planned for Sunday 26th April has been postponed.
It is highly likely that all our fundraising events we have planned for this year will be postponed or cancelled, therefore we are asking for your support to help keep our vital charity going. 🙏
Currently our Hollie Guard app has over 110,000 downloads and is growing fast. We provide Hollie Guard free of charge, but the app costs our charity approx. £40,000 a year to keep it running.
As the coronavirus pandemic increases in the UK, we now must stay at home.
‼️While home is widely considered the safest place to be for many, this is far from reality for victims of domestic abuse.‼️
We believe that during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, Hollie Guard could provide a valuable safety net for vulnerable people self-isolating, for example enabling an elderly person to alert a family member if they need urgent help but are unable to call someone.
We know that things are uncertain for many of us, but we can only provide our Hollie Guard with support of individuals or businesses such as yourselves.
To make a donation of ANY amount, please visit our Charity Checkout page 👉 buff.ly/2mXdKgX
