Charities Funded

Embrace Child Victims of Crime (CVoC) is a small but nationally impactful charity supporting children and young people harmed by serious crime. Our vision is to provide timely, trauma-informed support that helps children recover, rebuild, and thrive. Founded in 1993 in response to the Warrington bombings, we are one of the only UK charities focused on child victims of crime. In 2023 alone, we supported over 3,300 children and families across 41 counties, working with 43 of the UK’s 48 police forces. 

ABandOfBrothers (ABOB) works with young men at risk of or involved in the criminal justice system. We provide them with the support they need to make the transition to an adulthood free of crime, and filled with a sense of belonging, connection, and purpose. The young men we meet have often experienced or witnessed domestic violence. They may have been abused or else kept someone else’s abuse a secret. They may have lived in care or experienced neglect.

Peace Collective is a non-profit organisation committed to building peace, strengthening social cohesion, and supporting trauma recovery in communities affected by violence, division, and conflict. Our team brings decades of hands-on experience in conflict resolution, post-trauma healing, and youth engagement, working alongside communities to foster resilience, understanding, and lasting change.

The Brianna Ghey Legacy Project was founded in memory of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey, who was tragically murdered in 2023. Brianna’s story highlights the urgent need to protect children’s mental health in a world where social media and online exposure can have devastating effects. The project focuses on prevention and support for families, schools, and communities. Through workshops, family programmes, community outreach, and national campaigns, we aim to equip children with emotional resilience, help parents navigate the challenges of technology, and push for systemic change to create safer digital and real-world environments.

The #kNOwKnifeCrime campaign was founded in memory of Colin McGinty, who was tragically killed in a case of mistaken identity. The campaign’s mission is to educate young people about the devastating consequences of knife crime and to help make our communities safer. We work with primary and secondary schools, colleges, and universities, delivering assemblies, workshops, and emergency first aid sessions that are bespoke and tailored to each education setting and their individual needs. We’ve already engaged with over 35,000 young people across the Northwest and are passionate about continuing to reach more schools and students through education, prevention, and empowerment.
