East Yorkshire Opens Hub to Combat One-Punch Tragedies
7 Dec
Summary
- A new support hub opened in East Yorkshire to address one-punch attacks.
- The hub is run by a charity founded after Scott Akester died in 2022.
- The charity aims to raise awareness and educate against violence.

A dedicated support hub has been established in East Yorkshire to confront the severe consequences of one-punch attacks. This vital center emerged from the tragic loss of Scott Akester, who passed away in November 2022 following an assault. His death marked a profound turning point for his family.
Scott's parents initiated the One Punch Hull and East Yorkshire charity in 2023. Their mission focuses on preventing similar tragedies through educational programs in schools and offering support to individuals impacted by violent incidents. The charity's guiding principle is to encourage de-escalation: 'Stop-Think-Walk Away'.
Beginning in January, the new hub will serve as a welcoming space for workshops and engaging activities. This initiative aims to foster community dialogue and provide resources, honoring Scott's memory and striving to prevent future occurrences of senseless violence.
