Stand Against Violence (SAV) was established in 2005 by Adam Fouracre in response to the murder of his brother, 17-year-old Lloyd Fouracre, who was beaten to death in Taunton, Somerset, one day before his 18th birthday. They work with those most at risk of being a victim or perpetrator of violence to help young people make the right choices, stay clear of potentially violent situations and affect their future in a positive way ultimately reducing violence in our communities.

SAV is now a leading provider in evidence-based violence prevention programmes and have been awarded the Queens Award for the Voluntary Sector in 2014 in recognition of their societal impact and The Charity Times Award in celebration of their best practice approach.
