Created in partnership

Due to rising demand for resources from Schools, Children’s services, youth groups and public services. Lives Not Knives have spent the last few years strategising with teacher’s, young people and various people within the community with lived experience of youth violence to create, support and strengthen the knowledge for youth leaders to feel better equipped to deliver resources as an intervention for young people.

We want you to be better equipped to stimulate conversation with young people on the subject of youth crime and the consequences of youth crime. The effects on the young people, their families and the wider community.
