Helen Newlove (age 45) is a Warrington based community reform campaigner. Newlove was given a peerage in the 2010 Dissolution Honours list,^[1] and will sit in the House of Lords as a Conservative.

Newlove’s 47-year-old husband Garry Newlove was murdered in 2007 in Warrington after confronting a gang of drunken youths who were vandalising her car. They kicked him repeatedly in the head and are now serving time for murder.

Since Garry Newlove’s death, his widow has campaigned against the UK’s binge-drink culture and calling for better training for landlords and bar staff. Mrs Newlove set up Newlove Warrington on the 8 November, 2008, which aims to make the town a safer and better place for people to live and to improve facilities and opportunities for the children through education and life skills for the better of communities. The three goals for the campaign:^[2]

• Inspiring people to lead a more purposeful life
• Motivating people to enrich their lives
• Providing opportunities for positive interaction with communities

Newlove has extended her campaign nationally by joining forces with the local and national media, in particular The Sun newspaper, to campaign for a clampdown on gangs like the one who claimed her husband's life. ^[3]

Newlove and her husband have three daughters, Zoe, Danielle and Amy.
