About Fazamnesty
We are a UK violence-prevention and community safety organisation. We remove weapons from communities, educate young people, and create pathways away from violence.
Our story
Fazamnesty was founded by people who had seen the damage weapons cause in communities and wanted to do something practical about it. What started as a single amnesty event has grown into a national movement: mobile surrender vans, school workshops, mentoring programmes, community patrols and trauma training — all working together to prevent violence before it happens.
Today we work with schools, colleges, police forces, local authorities, community groups, businesses and NHS partners. We are trusted because we listen first, act with compassion and deliver results.
Our vision
A UK where every community is free from the fear of violence, where young people are supported to thrive, and where weapons are surrendered safely without judgement.
Our values
The principles that guide everything we do.
Safety First
We never judge. Our first priority is keeping people safe and removing harm from communities.
Community Led
We work with communities, not just in them. Local voices shape what we do and where we go.
Compassionate Action
We believe people can change when given the right support, skills and opportunity.
Accountable Impact
We measure what matters, share our results, and keep improving until communities feel safer.
Prevention, intervention and opportunity
Remove the means
Our mobile amnesty van and collection service take weapons out of circulation safely and anonymously.
Reach the people
Education, mentoring and outreach connect with young people before they reach a crisis point.
Create the path
Training, employment and education pathways give people a real alternative to violence.
