The Hollie Gazzard Trust
The Trust was created following the murder of 20-year-old Hollie Gazzard in 2014 by her ex-partner. Hollie had experienced domestic abuse and stalking prior to being fatally stabbed at her place of work.
Hollie Gazzard Trust helps reduce domestic violence through creating and delivering programmes on domestic abuse in schools and colleges. In 2015 Hollie Gazzard Trust launched Hollie Guard, a free app which transforms your smartphone into an advanced personal safety device.
Hollie Guard, now downloaded by over 140,000 people, is recommended by police forces across the country for those experiencing domestic abuse and stalking. Hollie Guard Extra offers more with 24/7 monitoring, immediate Police response and evidence gathering from only £80 per user, per year.

Other app features
Journey
Journey allows users to set a start and end point. The app then monitors the user’s journey and alerts their nominated contacts and the Control Centre once they safely arrive or trigger a panic alarm.
Man Down
Man Down utilises the smartphone’s internal sensors to detect a sudden impact or lack of movement. This feature is extremely useful for people who are alone or who cannot activate an alert during an incident.
Meeting
Meeting allows users to feel safe when going into a potentially dangerous meeting. A user set timer will countdown until deactivated, otherwise raising an alert.
Evidence Capture
When an Alert is raised, the victim’s smartphone will automatically use the cameras and microphone to capture video evidence. This evidence is automatically synced with their Alert and can be viewed and accessed at a later date.
