Following the violent deaths of their children and experiencing a profound need to bring something good and positive out of something bad, affected families have come together to make a difference.

E tenebris lux. From the darkness (comes) light.

We are Families Utd

Families Utd aims to be a conduit to many different support and advice mechanisms, all designed to put forward and support the whole issue of Youth Violence in this country from the perspective of people who have had to deal with it first hand - the victims' families.

This places us in a unique position having experienced the Criminal Justice System at first hand, as well as the intense trauma surrounding the pointless death of a loved one. We want to use our experiences, opinions and drive to make a difference - to help support others that will inevitably go through this and to affect public opinion and government policy.

This site will provide a continual focal point for our thoughts, opinions and activities - and we urge you to bookmark this site, spread the word and get involved.
