April 2022: This is an awareness raising project and we are not collecting donations. If you are approached for donations, we suggest you report to the relevant Police Force.

Whether you carry a knife, are thinking about carrying, or are worried about someone you know getting involved with knives – there is help and support available. Knife crime and exploitation is not something that operates in a bubble. Young people can be affected by a number of issues which may lead them to be more vulnerable or more easily exploited. If you need to report a crime then please ring the Police on 101 and in an emergency always call 999.
