Lives not Knives are dedicated to preventing youth violence in London and aim to do so through tailored advice and mentoring to people aged 9-21.

They have three main goals, based around engaging, educating and empowering.

Knife crime in the UK has been rising in recent years, with London impacted in particular. As a small, local charity, our financial support and fundraising could make a real difference to the programmes they can provide and people they can support.
