Free knife crime prevention workshops available for East Village young people

The Ben Kinsella Trust is running free Choices and Consequences workshops for young people across London, and places are available before the end of this academic year.

The award-winning sessions explore knife crime, the law, and decision-making in an age-appropriate, interactive format. Delivered at the Trust's exhibition venues in Islington and Barking & Dagenham, the workshops are designed to challenge the belief that carrying a knife offers protection - and to build the confidence to make safer choices. The programme has reached over 47,000 young people across the UK.

To book a funded workshop, visit benkinsella.org.uk/workshops and enter your borough name as the discount code (e.g. NEWHAM) to access it free of charge.

If you know a school, youth group, or young person who could benefit, please share this with them.
