About us

When 20 year old Hollie was murdered by her abusive ex-partner in February 2014, her family wanted something positive to come out of their tragic loss. Hollie had experienced physical violence and controlling behaviour which she didn't tell anyone about. When she finally found the strength to end her relationship, she was stalked. Days later he walked into the hair salon where she was working and killed her.  

Our Vision for the future:

That no other families and communities suffer the devastating consequences of abusive relationships and everyone is empowered to recognise the warning signs so we can keep each other safe and prevent serious harm. 

 Our Mission for the future:

To prevent future harm by educating young people about healthy relationships and working with employers and organisations to create safe work environments. By protecting people now through Hollie Guard safety app (in conjunction with our partners Panic Guard) which provides users with immediate help and better access to justice by enabling them to securely log evidence of repeat high risk offences like domestic abuse and stalking.

In the 11 years since Hollie was killed, Hollie Gazzard Trust has provided healthy relationships education to young people across Gloucestershire and the rest of the UK. HollieGuard has been downloaded over 900,000 times and HollieGuard EXTRA which provides 24/7 support to users via a monitoring centre has been downloaded over 6000 times.

We do not recieve any statutory funding and we need your help to expand and continue our work. 

While Hollie’s family remain devastated by her murder they hope that the funds raised through Hollie Gazzard Trust will continue to help others find a better future and reach their potential.
