Families Fighting For Justice

What Families Fighting For Justice does

Families Fighting for Justice (FFFJ) is a UK-registered charity (Charity No. 1134103) founded in 2008 by Jean Taylor following her personal losses of a sister (1998), son (2000), and daughter Chantel (2004) to homicide. The organisation supports families affected by homicide and culpable road death, operating primarily across Merseyside and North West England from The Hub drop-in centre at 6 Anson Street, Liverpool. Its core service portfolio comprises two interconnected programmes: The Hub (Homicide Support Hub), a no-appointment 'One Stop Shop' providing peer support, advice, and guidance to adult family members, and OLLY (Our Lost Love Years), a children's support programme delivering peer groups, days out, and trauma-informed activities. Supporting offerings include the Memory Candle online memorial platform, the Re-Building Your Future 12-week programme, peer support sessions (including a men's group and mothers' group), and published books for bereaved children approved by Merseyside Police and British Transport Police.

FFFJ's technology footprint is modest: a WordPress-based primary website, a dedicated candle memorial subdomain, and an OLLY charity website. There is no mobile app, no API, and no AI/ML capability — services are delivered in person by a team of 5 paid staff supported by an extensive volunteer network. Distribution is multi-channel: the Liverpool Hub, a charity shop in Strand Shopping Centre Bootle, mobile outreach via minibus, online and phone support, and OLLY activities across the region.

The revenue model is a multi-stream charity funding base comprising individual donations (including in-memory giving), charitable fundraising events (football matches, bingo, raffles, Christmas events), grants from the Ministry of Justice, Home Office, and Police and Crime Commissioner for Merseyside, charity shop retail sales, and partnerships with corporate and community donors. All services to beneficiaries are provided free of charge; there is no commercial pricing model. Go-to-market is community-led via word-of-mouth referrals, police Family Liaison Officer signposting, earned media (Good Morning Britain, Telegraph), and ongoing advocacy campaigns for legislative reform (Chantel's Law, Helen's Law). Institutional partners include Merseyside Police, Merseyside Police Federation, Victim Care Merseyside, Broudie Jackson Canter, Cammell Laird 1907 FC, and the Children's Adventure Farm Trust.
