In this section you can read about some of the past and present members of the HJC - mothers, fathers, brothers, survivors and supporters - their stories in their words and why they continue to struggle for Justice.
There are still very many people affected by Hillsborough . If you are a survivor, we can assist in identifying sources of help and provide a space to talk with people who went through the same experiences.
We still need help to continue the legal struggle, some survivors of the disaster may be able to assist as witnesses in up coming court cases. There are many other ways you can help us and we can help with school projects, research etc.

18th Anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster 2007
Today marks the 18th anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster. Eighteen years since 96 people went to watch a game of football and never came home. We will gather at Anfield today, as we do every 15th April to spend a few minutes paying our respects to those who died and also to reflect on the ongoing suffering of so many people since that day in 1989 in Sheffield.
96 people died, hundreds were physically injured, but an inestimable number of people were deeply traumatised and affected by the events of that day. For many, the trauma and suffering remain to the present day.
We at the Hillsborough Justice Campaign give cognizance to the bereaved and also to those who continue to suffer - many in silence. We condemn outright the lies reiterated by Kelvin McKenzie this year as to the facts of the day of the Disaster. His comments, clearly aimed to create maximum publicity also caused so much hurt and anger, and signified a callous disregard for the survivors of Hillsborough in particular and the people of Liverpool generally. However, the grass-roots response of Liverpool fans which manifested itself in the magnificent display on the kop is to be applauded. The HJC acknowledges the integrity of Liverpool fans who remain solidly committed to the fight for justice and the truth of Hillsborough. We shouldn't expect McKenzie to understand that though - integrity is not a word for which he has much use.
McKenzie's lies are in stark contrast to the support others continue to offer us. Our Greek friends are again here with us today as are many others from Europe and beyond. As has become customary now, the Greek branch of the Liverpool supporters has gathered together in Athens for a mass to commemorate the 96. Let's hope we might be able to thank them in person pretty soon! We should also mention at this point the amazing support offered by our Celtic friends. The banner which they had made and have displayed so prominently clearly shows their support to us and we are proud and honoured to have such friends.
The Hillsborough Justice Campaign remains solidly committed to supporting the fight for justice in whatever form that may take. Justice for the 96 will always remain as the fundamental aim of the campaign. However, we at the HJC also acknowledge the need for justice for the survivors of Hillsborough. We acknowledge the depth of suffering that so many have experienced for eighteen long years. We also acknowledge those who could no longer take that suffering and ended their lives tragically. We would ask you to add them and their families to your thoughts and prayers today.
I would now ask you join us in a minutes silence in order to pay respect to the 96 and those who have since died.
It has been a long time since the site has been updated. Whilst only brief you can see what's new to the website and the Justice Campaign.
Hillsborough is NOT rubber stamped into the history books. This website outlines, not only the campaign for Justice for the 96 people who died at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough football ground on 15th April 1989, historically since 1989 til the present day but also features the definitive history of what happened at Hillsborough that day.
