🙌 Safer Communities Day Yesterday, we held our annual #PLInspires Safer Communities Event to raise awareness about the dangers of gangs, county lines and knife crime. A huge thank you to the fantastic speakers from @1message6 and @JJeffect18, who spoke to students about their lived experiences and provided some invaluable life advice. #wafc 🔵⚪️ | @PLCommunities | #PLMoreThanAGame

There's still time to make a difference. If you, or someone you know has a zombie-style knife or machete, please encourage them to surrender it now. Let's work together to make our streets safer. 🔗 Find out more about the surrender & compensation scheme orlo.uk/ESNyf

A real ambassador of turning to make good. I first met Matthew as a constable and then brought him in to speak to students. A real person, real stories, real impact.
