OP Sceptre pop up - VR headset town event knife crime awareness : Tue 19 May 17:00

Members of your local Safer neighbourhood Team are pleased to let you know that they will be holding an event at McDonalds, Evreux Way.

The Reality of Carrying a Blade

🎯 Aim

To prevent knife carrying among young people by:

Showing real-life consequences (legal, emotional, physical)

Highlighting the impact on victims, families, and communities

Encouraging positive choices and support-seeking

🧠 Core Experience: VR Reality Zone

Use VR headsets to place participants inside different perspectives of knife crime:

1. The Carrier’s Perspective

Walking through a normal day carrying a blade

Escalation in a confrontation

Split-second decision moment

Arrest scene afterward

👉 Focus: “It only takes one moment to change your life.”
