Knife crime

Let’s live #KnifeFree

In Royal Greenwich alone there have been 1,197 knife offences over the last 3 years.

We launched the Let’s Live #KnifeFree campaign across the borough to tackle serious violence. We’ve worked closely with the community, young people and the police on the campaign aimed at encouraging people to live their life and drop the knife.

The campaign focuses on the fictional narrative of a Greenwich teenager who has their future ahead of them; and aims to inspire young people and adults to remember the value of the life not yet lived.

In an emergency always call 999.
