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.
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.
We are pleased to annouce some dates for the Families Supporting Families Network.
We will be meeting on the first Sunday of every Month at Lombard House, 2 Purley Way, Croydon CR0 3JP.
Time: 4 pm to 6.00 pm
Dates: 5th February, 4th March, 1st April, 6th May, 3rd June, 1st July, 5th August, 2nd September, 7th October, 4th November, 2nd December
