THE family of murdered Adam Ellison say giving back to the community "keep them going" on their fight for justice.

Former St Helens College student Adam, 29, was stabbed in the neck with an unknown weapon as he walked home in Prescot on Saturday, November 4, 2017.

The former Tesco worker's killers – who had been on board a large motorbike – are yet to be brought to justice.

St Helens Star:

In the absence of justice, his heartbroken family needed something to ground them and give them a focus - so have dedicated themselves to giving back to the community and hospital that supported them in his memory via a charity they've established in his name Achieving Dreams and Memories (ADAM) .

Nicola Moore, Adam's eldest sister, said: "Doing these events have give us, especially my mum and dad, a focus to keep us going despite still fighting for justice.

"It plays on our minds every day that Adam's killers are out there, and we will never stop fighting for justice, but we had to focus on something positive and giving back to Prescot and St Helens helps us to move forward."

St Helens Star:

They have also been keen to spread the awareness of knife crime, encouraging other groups, sport teams and schools to sing Stand By Me, in support of the No More Knives campaign.
