Following the tragic death of Julie Taylors Grandson Liam, his Legacy was born. Julie Taylor does as much as possible to honour Liams life by doing everything she and her family can to stop the awful waste of life to knife crime and the grief it leaves behind. Expanding the Legacy is like a military operation and so Julie desperately needs more soldiers to help her fight this battle and to support local communities safety and needs. Food donations from local supermarkets are distributed locally in Westcliff on Sea to 'Off The Streets' homeles charity, 'Harp' and local care homes such as Crowstone House.
