Our award winning exhibition and knife crime programmes
Our anti-knife crime workshops are delivered from our Choices and Consequences exhibitions in London and Nottingham.
We educate young people in the dangers of knife crime and help them to make positive choices to stay safe. Our knife crime prevention workshops at our award-winning exhibitions follow the journey of both the victim and the offender through a series of unique and immersive experiences. We show young people how the choices they make, and the consequences of those choices, are intrinsically linked.
No family or community should suffer the loss of a life to knife crime. Help us
