Save Lives. Stop Knives.

Support knife crime prevention in the UK

The Safety Box Youth Programs CIC is a social enterprise that re-invests money back into community programs to help youth in more socially deprived areas. However, despite our unwavering commitment, we often face financial challenges that hinder our ability to meet the urgent needs of those at the highest risk—especially when local authorities are unable to provide the necessary funding.

Britain's knife crime crisis

The Safety Box is at the forefront of confronting one of the UK’s most alarming safety crises. In March 2024, the ONS revealed a staggering 78% rise in knife crime since the pandemic—a chilling reality that leaves every child and young person more vulnerable than ever before. Heartbreakingly, young boys remain the most frequent victims of this devastating surge, their futures overshadowed by a growing tide of violence. Together, we can prevent more young lives and their families from being shattered by violence.

"We also need to deal with the sanctions for those that are found with knives”.

Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer

“I was incensed about the lack of care and attention that people were showing about knife crime,”
