The Hollie Gazzard Trust was created following the death of Hollie while at work at Fringe Benefits & La Bella Beauty Salon, Gloucester. Hollie was a talented and creative hairdresser who had the world at her feet. Tragically her life was cut short by her former partner at the age of 20 and she was not able to fulfil her dreams. Hollie's family were totally devastated by this but, they wanted something positive to come out of the tragic loss of Hollie.

Hollie's passion was hairdressing and her family wanted to give others the opportunity that Hollie was fortunate to have and fulfil a career in hairdressing. The Trust aims to support and fund young hairdressers in partnership with Gloucestershire College. They also want to help reduce domestic abuse through delivering relationship workshops in schools, along with an evaluated programme around teenage dating violence and abuse having an impact on vulnerable young people's health, well-being, and future relationships. Finally, they also support Increase the Peace, a project targetting young individuals away from anti-social behaviour and knife crime.

The ultimate aim of the Trust is to positively change the lives of young people across the County.

The Birchall Trust is a registered charity (Charity No: 1109637) and was established in 1991 by a local woman, Christine Birchall to relieve the mental and physical distress of people and their families who are survivors of rape and sexual abuse. We offer counselling and support through our adult and children's services and engage in work towards the understanding of the effect on the victims.

The activities we provide include:

• One to one counselling and art/play therapy sessions.
• Awareness raising talks in the community
• Training & development opportunities for staff, volunteers and management committee.

The effects of rape and sexual abuse are wide-ranging, including physical injury; severe and enduring mental health implications including anxiety, panic attacks, depression, substance/alcohol abuse, eating disorders and suicide; time of work or loss of employment; disruption to studies; and impact on relationships, family and friends.

In general the most pervasive effect of childhood sexual abuse is the destruction of self esteem and the generation of a sense of worthlessness. Their abuse has often been as a result of betrayal by those they trust, love and depend upon, which may include one or both of their parents and the need to help survivors develop appropriate trust is critical.

Trust House Lancashire supports survivors of sexual abuse and violence of all ages and genders across the county. We empower survivors to move beyond their abuse experience offering a safe and supportive environment. Our counsellors and support workers can help anyone who has experienced sexual violence at any time in their life to overcome the impact the abuse has had on their mental health and well-being.

By supporting your community you could win up to £25,000!
