Westminster: Online Knife Crime Reduction Forum

Caritas Westminster, Justice & Peace team of St Mellitus RC Church, Tollington Park, and Operation Forgiveness are hosting their second online event on knife crime on 22 October, 7-8.30pm.

Following the hugely positive response to our first event, this session will explore practical ways parishes and schools can take action, including knife bins, banners and vigils.

During the evening, we will also hear from speaker Jason O'Shea, Ministry Leader at Operation Forgiveness, a programme which works with churches and schools to help prevent youth violence and support young people. Operation Forgiveness trains local churches to deliver early-intervention knife-crime and youth violence workshops in local schools.

The event is open to everyone across the Diocese, and we would love to see as many people as possible join the conversation.

Please spread the word in your parish, school and community, so people who care about this important issue can attend.

Online meeting link will be sent to you a few days ahead of the meeting.
