Subject: Knife Crime Week of Action / Ditch the Blade Campaign - starts 19th May 2025
Please note the following from Yvonne (Von) James, Principal Community Safety Officer with Lichfield District Council, especially her offer to visit community groups:
Hi All
So, this month we have the above campaign for the week commencing 19th May.
In this week the Community Safety Partnership are going to be pushing use of the knife bins, encouraging knife amnesty and providing an update on how successful the knife bins have been since the 2023 Knife Angel campaign.
In this week we would also like to do some Stop the Bleed Training which would take about 35-45 minutes with groups of up to 25.
I am happy to try and fit in and attend any locations in this week to provide this, I would need a screen with ability to connect or play a video that is online.
If any of you would like this please let me know.
This sort of thing would be ideal for scout groups, small charities, organisations etc….
Please let me know asap if you would like me to come to you so I can reserve a time in my diary.
