Raising Awareness

[Sharpening.Futures @Sharpeningft]

Sharpening Futures is a knife crime awareness campaign, and we are trying to spread awareness about this topic and how dangerous it is for adults and younger people. Nearly 50,000 serious knife crimes were recorded in England from July 2023 to June 2024.

People carry knives in hopes that they will gain respect or street credibility from others for doing so. This can also include situations where an individual is in an environment where it is standard for people to carry a knife . #sharepeningfutures #Sharpeningft
