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

The Royal Borough of Greenwich launched the Let’s Live #KnifeFree campaign across the borough to tackle serious violence. The council has worked closely with the community, young people and police on the new campaign aimed at encouraging people to live their life and drop the knife.

The Let’s Live #KnifeFree 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.
