MAV was established in 1999 to support victims of gun and gang violence. It does this through a wide range of activities including; education; counselling; advice, information, support; partnership working; campaigning.
Since 2003 we have worked within prisons, enabling prisoners to hear from the victims of crime as part of their rehabilitation, and of the impact of murder on families and friends. We also provide a letter writing service, workshops and support for the prisons therapeutic community. We have delivered the Business Development Educational Training Programme since June 2012. Funded by the Allen Lane Foundation and Greater Manchester Probation the programme has supported over 45 people to date (offenders who are preparing to leave custody, and those who have already left), preparing them for work and to set up their own business.
