About us (OLD)

OUR VISION

At the Pat Cronin Foundation our vision is simple – a world free from the Coward Punch

We work to achieve this vision by providing an optimistic voice and empowering approach to awareness, education and research – working with schools, clubs, workplaces, community groups and young people to End the Coward Punch.

OUR MISSION

Be Wise. Think Carefully. Act Kindly.

Awareness

We cannot End the Coward Punch alone. Through Pat’s Story, we encourage young people and the broader community to work together to end violence and bring about the changes we seek.

Education

Our Be Wise Education programs don’t just introduce young people to Pat and his story, but help them develop their own action plan to Be Wise and never use violence.

Research

Our Research helps to strengthen our awareness and education programs, informs the development of prevention strategies and supports our goal to reduce assaults and Coward Punch attacks in our community.
