I am 24 year old young change-maker from Manchester UK. I currently work for Young Manchester as a project coordinator on a youth engagement project. I also volunteer with Mothers Against Violence which is a black-led anti-violence charity ran by volunteer/victims of violence for the community. (2)

We at MAV UK wish you all a peaceful and restful festive season. We cannot wait to continue to co-create a safer Manchester and world.

Heartbreaking news coming out of South Manchester. We need real change, we need action and we need investment. Within these areas are communities, communities that are vibrant and diverse but gripped by violent crime and the fear of it.

Very sad to announce the passing of the amazing Patsy Mckie. She was a pioneer, leader and above all else a mother with a mission. Please bear with us Mothers Against Violence as we remember our founder and continue operations. Patricia ‘Patsy’ McKie 1947-2025

Very sad news to hear the passing of my friend & neighbour Patsy Mckie. A community activist who set up Mothers Against Violence when her son Dorrie was murdered. An amazing woman, thank you Patsy r.i.e.p xx❤️❤️ Manchester City Council Greater Manchester Police Bev Craig Joanna Midgley Caribbean & African Health Network Manchester News Evening MEN Lucy Powell MP

Cllr Lee-Ann Igbon Mothers Against Violence Manchester City Council Greater Manchester Police Bev Craig Joanna Midgley Caribbean & African Health Network Manchester News Evening MEN Lucy Powell MP Very sorry to hear this. Great woman.

Very sad news. Patsy was an outstanding community activist, founder of Mothers Against Violence and a firm advocate for a better Manchester. Her legacy will live on through Mothers Against Violence - and she will be sorely missed by those who knew her.

We are sad to announce the passing of our founder, Patsy McKie. Patsy began MAV in 1999 with a pioneering mission to make Manchester safer through community, togetherness and empowerment. She will be missed deeply by our team, and Manchester. Rest in Peace.
