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.

holliegazzard.org
On 18th February 2018 Hollie Gazzard was murdered by her ex-partner. Five years on, the charity still aims to support victims of domestic abuse.❤️ 5 YEARS ❤️
Hollie brought so much joy, laughter and happiness to the world for the 20 years she was with us, before being cruelly taken too soon. Her legacy will live on and she will always be remembered as a bright, determined and successful individual, who lit up the room every time she walked in.
5 years on and the pain is not healed - it never will. But we have our memories of the precious times we spent together.
She is sadly missed by all who knew her.
Rest in peace, Hollie. We will never forget you. ❤️
