Look what we have become

‍

Fighting Knife Crime London (FKCL) is now a well-established and increasingly respected part of the work being done in Greater London to empower young Londoners and change their lives for the better.  We do not charge for anything but offer every kind of information. The signposting and pathway provision that we offer just gets better. We believe it is now the best website that is solely dedicated to providing reliable information, and all forms of resources designed to help young people that London can offer. We have become far, far more than a directory, and our increasing number of practical partnerships ensure that we are able to build on the offer we make.  Where someone has a better offer we signpost that too.

‍

The Go-To place for help and information

‍

Anyone interested in helping another young person can find inspiration here – whether it be from our highly accessible directory, or more widely from the fascinating insights and long experience of some of the major players in youth engagement that are working across London, and nationally, who write for our quarterly magazine. It is now accessed by an increasing number of professions working in the field of youth engagement across London, who subscribe by direct mail to the magazine, and by those who daily visit our website. We regularly check our entries, and keep in touch with the many hundreds pf groups and organisations which are featured on our website. They all receive our magazine by email too.

Links for you to use

‍

Our searchable section, packed full of the most recent reports, statistics, and research papers, has no equal in London that we have yet found. The free facilities we offer to community projects, the police, employers, educators, local government, and charities across London to use us to spread news and information on social media and on our website is always available through our newslink here. Our video area is there for you to use, and to feature your own videos and podcasts about the subjects we address.  If your organisation is not featured, and you think it should be, then click on this link here and we will add it for you, and ensure with your help that it is always up to date.

What we stand for

‍

Our ethos from the day we launched has been to trumpet the work done by others, in every kind of place, to raise up young people, or to provide encouragement to them and to signpost life-changing opportunities. Whatever it is that is needed – a mentor, a job, or a new social group engaged in a shared project of interest – a sport, arts, music, or anything else, or just a new friendship group, can be found via our website, with a direct link to more closely focussed information.  In every borough of London, we offer such solutions.

‍

We just want to do better -so please help us

‍

We are now working to improve our reach across every sector genuinely engaged in the kind of collaboration that interests us – the NHS, social prescribing organisations, community groups, employers, teachers, police officers from those BCUs that have shown committed to informed engagement at community level, from Arts projects, sports clubs, mental health bodies, and those who work with particularly disadvantaged sectors.

Our Printable Poster HERE

‍

We have a simple poster that can be reproduced on any colour printer, with direct links via QR codes to places that offer help, to FKCL, to our partners and via our website and social media, to a world of new solutions. PRINTIT OUT PLEASE NOW and pin it up in any public area where that is permitted, where young people gather, at work, in schools, in community centres, in surgeries and in police station lobbies, or anywhere else it can be useful. It can be found here.

Working with our website designers, Iconic Media Solutions, our intention is to work with the grain of public and private sector endeavours to enhance solutions that are already in place.

Let us know how we improve the resources we offer. No young person should be left behind for any reason, and we want to help in every way we can to see that this does not happen.  If you think we are messing something, let us know please and we will try to make your ideas some wings to fly.
