Now the fund has embarked on a new project. Kelly Newman , Michele Newman and Linda Silverwood (along with the help and support from Warwickshire County Council and Warwickshire Police) are the founders of 'THE FAMILIES AGINST KNIVES CAMPAIGN' This campaign is set to raise public awareness of the devastating effects of knife crime and teach children a simple message, which is KNIVES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!

The campaign will see the launch of a family pledge, a petition which states that knife crime laws in the UK should be tightened up, a docudrama that is to be screened across the UK this will show what devastating effects of knife crime has on a family and a educational booklet that accompanies the DVD so that children in schools can join in the campaign.

All information collected will be put together in a portfolio and to be presented to Downing Street to show the government that knife crime is such a grim reality in today's society and simply this is not acceptable!!!! THE LAWS IN TODAYS SOCIETY

This project has been funded by AWARDS FOR ALL.
