India Chipchase, forever in our hearts
A Message from India’s Mother Sue -
India, a darling daughter, much loved sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend. It can happen to any family member, stay together and always know the Guardians are there for you.
January 30th 2016
India Chipchase and her friends went out together in Northampton Town Centre, during the course of the evening India and her friends became separated resulting in India being left alone and vulnerable outside of a venue in town.
Events that happened after India was separated from her friends unfortunately lead to her tragic rape and murder.
We will not go into anymore detail about that night, we will never forget, and India will always be in our hearts.
The Northampton Guardians were originally created by India’s mother Sue Chipchase in her memory.
In 2021 with a new leadership team and a group of dedicated volunteers along with the additional support from the Northants OPFCC providing the SNO Van the Northampton Guardians launched and have been in town every weekend since.
The Northants OPFCC funded the Safer Nights out van from which the Northampton Guardians operate, it is a safe space within the town for anyone to come to for help and support.
