Stand Against Violence
British charity
Stand Against Violence is a charity focusing on violence prevention across England and Wales with a unique and impacting approach to educate pupils about violence and its consequences. The charity uses the violence prevention evidence base to target educational interventions at the contributing factors to violence.
Background
Originally called the 'Campaign for Lloyd' the campaign was set up by Adam Fouracre, the older brother of Lloyd Fouracre, who was murdered on 25 September 2005. The original agenda was to increase police presence within the local area, and also giving talks to local schools about Lloyd and the effects of violence. The campaign changed direction following a disappointing government meeting and a loss of momentum within schools.
Stand Against Violence was established as a charity in 2010 and focuses on developing and delivering educational resources and workshops which are delivered as part of the PSHE/Citizenship curriculum. The aim of the core workshop is to educate young people about the effects of violence. The original resources and workshops are aimed at secondary school students and other organisations that work with young people, and includes a short film, followed by interactive activities and discussion, all of which satisfy several sections of the national curriculum. The charity also delivers:
Primary aged workshops
Anti bullying workshops
Substance abuse workshops
Personal safety
First aid
Workshops for young prisoners and youth offending teams
Lloyd Fouracre
17-year-old Lloyd Fouracre was leaving a friend's 18th birthday party on 25 September 2005 in Taunton, Somerset, when he and his friends were attacked by a group of youths.
He was hit over the head with a wooden parking sign, rendering him unconscious.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Stand Against Violence” as british charity. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as british charity. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7598062. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005 and 2010.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
