Ben Kinsella Trust – Knife Crime Exhibition

28 Year 10 students attended a 2 hour Knife Crime Exhibition run by the Ben Kinsella Trust.

The trust has the following aims for the exhibition:

‘We educate young people on the dangers of knife crime and help them to make positive choices to stay safe. Our workshops follow the journey of both the victim and the offender through a series of unique and immersive experiences to show young people how choices and consequences are intrinsically linked.

Our workshops change young people’s attitudes to knife crime; debunking the myth that carrying a knife will protect you. They strengthen peer values; ensuring young people give better advice to each other and challenge peers who are carrying (or thinking of carrying) a knife.’
