Named in honour of their lost child, the foundation will focus on tackling youth violence while providing crucial support to families affected by such incidents across the UK.
A Legacy of Protection
The initiative comes as a direct response to the horrific incident that shocked the coastal town, where multiple young lives were tragically cut short. The charity's founders hope to create meaningful change through education, community outreach, and policy advocacy.
Key Objectives of the Charity:
- Implement violence prevention programmes in schools
- Provide counselling services for affected families
- Campaign for stricter knife crime legislation
- Support youth mentorship initiatives
Community leaders have welcomed the initiative, praising the parents' remarkable strength in transforming their personal tragedy into an opportunity to protect other families.
National Conversation on Youth Violence
The Southport attack has reignited debates about knife crime prevention across Britain, with calls for:
- Increased police presence in vulnerable areas

Local MPs have pledged to support the charity's efforts, recognising the urgent need for action against the growing epidemic of youth violence.
As the charity prepares to launch its first programmes, the nation watches with hope that this tragic event might ultimately lead to positive change and save future lives.
