Knife Crime Awareness Week – Taking Action Together

Taking a Stand Against Knife Crime Together

Monday 18th May marks the start of Knife Crime Awareness Week, hosted by the Ben Kinsella Trust:

This week is an opportunity for all of us – families, young people, businesses and local partners – to come together, raise awareness and show that knife crime is preventable.

Parents and carers can find helpful guidance and resources here:

While the police will be increasing activity to investigate and deter crime in our neighbourhoods, you can play a vital part in keeping our streets safe. If you have a knife you shouldn’t have, or know of one that needs to be removed, please use one of the many amnesty bins located across London. It’s a safe, anonymous way to make a difference.

You can find your nearest knife bin here:

By working together and taking small positive steps, we can help keep our communities safe.
