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.

Some will find this extremely distressing. This is an awful call put in to Thames Valley Police by a monster who stabbed his partner 28 times and left her to die. A life sentence is not long enough. 😡 In emergencies, please report domestic violence to the police as soon as possible.
Thames Valley Police
Shane Clarke has been sentenced for life for the murder of his partner Joanne Bishop.
This is the 999 call made by Clarke after he stabbed her twenty eight times with a screwdriver, and then left her for dead.
Some people may find this call distressing.
