Provider: James Gregory
Name: Fathers Against Violence
James Gregory's fears for the impact of gang violence on local communities, as well as a lack of support for grieving fathers, led him to launch Fathers Against Violence (FAV) in January 2011, on what would have been his son Guiseppe's 18th birthday.
The aim of the community project is to prevent similar tragic events happening to other families, and Gregory hopes one way of achieving this is by engaging young people in participation programmes.
FAV also targets fathers, who Gregory wants to engage in mentoring programmes so that they can act as positive male role models to their children and other young people in their communities.
