Today, our founder Danni had the privilege of meeting with Patrick Green, CEO of the Ben Kinsella Trust, and visiting their powerful exhibition in Islington.
The experience was deeply moving. As someone who works closely with young people affected by violence, Danni found the exhibition both emotional and impactful. It powerfully brings to life the realities of knife crime while highlighting the urgent need for education, awareness, and prevention.
The Ben Kinsella Trust continues to be a leading voice in the fight against knife crime. Their commitment to prevention through education strongly aligns with the values and mission of Blades Down. Seeing their work first hand reinforced the importance of early intervention and honest conversations with young people.
Danni left feeling inspired, informed, and more determined than ever to continue our work creating safer communities and protecting young lives.
We are extremely grateful to Patrick Green for taking the time to meet with Danni and for such a warm and generous welcome. The work being carried out by the Ben Kinsella Trust is truly life changing, and we look forward to building a strong and meaningful connection as we continue this important work together.
