You can change the world!

The Hollie Gazzard Trust was created following the murder of 20-year-old Hollie Gazzard in 2014 by an ex-partner. Set up by parents Nick and Mandy, along with sister Chloe, their aim is to raise awareness of domestic abuse and stalking and help young people create positive, happy and safe relationships, free from abuse. They do this by running educational workshops in schools, colleges and universities, and in the workplace and for community groups.

They also fund the Hollie Guard personal safety app, available free to anyone, through fundraising events like these.

In a recent Upper Tribunal appeal, Hughes Paddison successfully challenged the First Tier Tribunal’s interpretation of the law. Joe Ferris provides a summary of the appeal and the key principles for landlords to keep in mind when considering an application for dispensation.
