Families for Peace, campaigns for peace, whilst raising awareness of the effect of gun/knife crime and gang violence, on families, young people and the wider community. Also to empower and equip young people and families targeting those affected by these crimes
Families for Peace began in 2001 following the fatal shooting of Corey Wayne the son of Gleen Reid, the founder of the organisation. The birth of the organisation was a response to all those families who have been bereaved of loved ones due to the evils of gang warfare, drugs and gun crime. The organisation’s purpose is to work in a preventative interventionist and rehabilitative way to deter young people from going into a life of crime and to support those whose lives have been forever changed by the loss of loved ones.
