White Collar fight night in support of Lives not Knives

What is knife crime ?

Knife crime is a crime involving an object with a blade or sharp instrument. 

In the year ending March 2022 there were 261 homicides using a sharp instrument, including knives and broken bottles. 

This is my first ever fight Guys.. I’m hoping to perform to the best of my ability giving you a show you definitely came to see☺️

This charity is dear to me and anyone else that is raising a son in this day and age. 

I would like to think my growing boy has a fighting chance at life, peacefully and free of the violence we see in todays society. I believe it’s possible and will do what I can to advocate for it as best I can.  It’s a scary world we live in but as long as the right conversations are being had,  the actions are being carried out and a genuine solidarity being formed amongst the community….. CHANGE IS INEVITABLE 

I wanted to include a few facts and statistics for you to visualise the impact it’s having on the community

Knife-enabled crime recorded by the police in the year ending December 2022 remained 9% lower (49,265 offences) than pre-coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic levels in the year ending March 2020 (54,230 offences). This is mainly because the number of knife-enabled robbery offences was 23% lower in the year ending December 2022 (18,553 offences) than in the year ending March 2020 (24,133 offences). Despite the overall decrease in knife-enabled crime recorded by the police, knife-enabled threats to kill increased by 22% (to 5,942 offences) in the year ending December 2022 compared with the year ending March 2020 (4,861 offences).

Levels of knife-enabled crime fell to 46,334 offences in the year ending December 2021 because of government restrictions on social contact. It has increased by 6% in the year ending December 2022 (to 49,265 offences) compared with the year ending December 2021, while remaining below pre-coronavirus pandemic levels. Knife-enabled homicide decreased by 9% to 256 offences, down from 280 offences in the year ending December 2021.
