We've seen the launch of another fantastic project with @jfjfoundation & True Research Ltd. It aims to distribute bleed & first aid kits across South London with the necessary accompanying education, to save lives through immediate first aid responses to serious youth violence.
Violent crime is a big issue in London – so we heard from Tilisha, who lost her brother Jermaine Goupall to knife violence, for more on its impact in the capital.
