Objectives

 Our organisation tackles the pressing issue of youth knife crime by offering a multifaceted solution aimed at prevention and rehabilitation. Recognising the gap in support and rehabilitation programs for at-risk youth, we have developed comprehensive educational initiatives designed to be implemented in schools and communities. These programs focus on raising awareness about the severe consequences of knife crime and the critical importance of resolving conflicts without resorting to violence.  Through these programs, young individuals are connected with positive role models, empowering them to make better life choices and steering them away from the path of violence. Our approach not only provides a platform for victims and their families to share experiences and receive support but also actively contributes to the reduction of youth knife crime.

Activities

Addressing the critical issue of youth knife crime, our nonprofit organisation has developed a comprehensive approach to fill the gap in accessible educational resources on this pressing matter. By organising workshops and seminars in schools and communities, we bring together speakers with firsthand experience of knife crime, including victims, reformed offenders, and law enforcement officers, to share their powerful stories and insights. Complementing these face-to-face interactions, we have launched a targeted social media campaign aimed at young people. This campaign delivers educational content and messages designed to highlight the dangers of carrying knives and to encourage positive, non-violent alternatives. Through these initiatives, we are committed to spreading awareness and preventing youth knife crime, fostering safer communities for all.
