Nil by Mouth is an anti-sectarian charity based in Glasgow, Scotland. It was established in 1999 by David Graham, Louise Cumming and Cara Henderson (whose boyfriend, Mark Scott — a Glasgow schoolboy and Celtic F.C. fan — was the victim of a sectarian murder in 1995).[1][2]
Along with Celtic, Rangers, churches and Glasgow City Council, Nil by Mouth started the "Sense Over Sectarianism" campaign in 2001, which ran until 2004.[3] The charity's founders wrote its social charter and it went on to receive a Philip Lawrence Award for its work.[4]
