The West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership is collaborating with the Ben Kinsella Trust as part of Knife Crime Awareness Week.

Join our community-based workshops, designed to support youth workers, practitioners, parents and carers, and wider communities with vital training on knife crime prevention.

Alongside the workshops, support our ongoing Knife Crime Awareness campaigns including real-life stories and educational films, to engage young people and communities in discussions about the consequences of knife crime.
