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.

We have an amazing team of volunteers known as Hollie Helpers. As our very special small Gloucestershire charity continues to grow, we have more opportunities to attend events to help let people know about Hollie's story and the work we fund.
Because of this we are looking to recruit more Hollie Helpers in the New Year. The role is varied but a large part involves speaking confidently about HGT, what we do (and what we don't), selling raffle tickets or doing bucket collections etc.
Are you are a Gloucestershire based businesses which has employer supported volunteering opportunities such as charity giving days or corporate volunteer days? These opportunities are invaluable to very small charities such as HGT. And your business stands to benefit too, through greater employee engagement, better relationships and stronger links with your local community.

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Big Yellow Self Storage 🙏
As a small local charity, they have helped us by storing our gazebos, tables, banners, leaflets and lots more for the Hollie Gazzard Trust (which was kept in a spare bedroom).
This means all our volunteers have access to everything they need, when they need it! 😀 It's made a BIG difference.
If you're thinking of putting a few items into storage, please think... Big Yellow Self Storage Gloucester.
#HollieGazzardTrust ❤️There’s no escaping the grey days and the dark evenings. That’s why we’ve invested in energy efficient LED lighting for our exterior store signs, making sure our customers can still see us from afar, while saving on energy.
