Learn About Billy & Beyond

Founded in 2021 by mother Nicci Parish after the tragic loss of her son. The organisation’s mission is to provide education to young people about the potential hazards of recreational drugs. Our goal is to empower young people with the necessary information and resources to make responsible and well-informed decisions.

“I wanted to set up Billy and Beyond to do something positive in Billy’s memory.

Our mission is to support children and young people’s mental wellbeing, as well as funding drug awareness workshops to educate young people on recreational drugs and the dangers of taking them.”

Meet Our Directors

Nicci

“After the tragic loss of my eldest son Billy at just 24 years old I knew I had to do something. I had never really heard of MDMA although I later learnt it is a form of ecstasy a so called party drug. Seeing Billy in hospital and what that drug had done to his body shocked me to the core, I have never seen or heard of anything like that. So from the very darkest of days came about Billy & Beyond, with an aspiration to turn my devastating loss to help, support and educate others.”
