Families Fighting for Justice campaign
and work for change. We will not stop until
we bring justice back to our judiciary system.
We believe that change will come.

About Families Fighting For Justice

Jean Taylor, the founder of Families Fighting for Justice (FFFJ), lost a sister in 1998, a son in 2000 and a daughter in 2004 all to the acts of homicide.

In 2008 Jean advertised in the Liverpool Echo for victims families to join her on a march to Downing Street with the thousands of signatures' she had gathered to say; Life should mean life, for first degree murder, also tougher sentences for manslaughter. The families that joined are now loyal members and trustees of Families Fighting for Justice. Sadly over the years the group has grown. Families fighting for justice are non political and work alongside those who can bring change and help make society and our country a safer place for everyone.

As well as campaigning for change we are also a support group for those who have lost someone to acts of murder or manslaughter. Over the years the members of FFFJ have become like a second family to each other. Our drop in centre has a friendly atmosphere where you can talk in confidence to others who understand the emotional rollercoaster ride you are now on. You do not have to have lost a loved one to join us; we have members who just support us.

We have no prejudices at FFFJ, it does not matter about your race, religion or sexuality and everyone is welcome. We also believe a murder does not have any priorities. If your loved one was taken it does not have to be with a knife or a gun, the loss and pain is the same, we support death by dangerous driving or domestic violence, we support all murders.

We would like to thank Joe Kershaw from furniture outlet village in Widnes, for his kind generosity and support to the group. He and his staff have made sure our new centre has been made into a comfortable and relaxing surroundings for our members. And also to Jimmy and Tom from Furniture World in Birkenhead, who kindly donated a table and chairs. We still have a long way to go and need more volunteers to help us run smoothly.
If you can spare a bit of your time, please get in touch.

Our Wish List...

  • to have a house with a garden so all the Olly children, and their families can be under one roof with FFFJ.
  • to own a caravan to help family bonding, to reflect, to have some restbite away.
  • to have a Mini Bus to pick up some members who can not get out, to also use it for day's out for the victims families, and the Olly children.
  • to be able to operate drop in centres up and down the country
  • to have some sponsor's to help us run at a level we need to.
