Stanley High School

Story

During July we are looking to educate our community on the dangers of knife crime and raise funds to purchase Bleed Kits that could be used in the event of someone being stabbed. We will be working alongside campaigner Laura Hughes who established In Memory of Colin McGinty, a #kNOwknifecrime initiative that aims to educate young people on the wider lasting impact of knife crime and dissuade the carrying of knives and other weapons after the death of her brother, Colin McGinty in 2001

Our ambition is for the kits to be hosted by retailers and public venues in our community, especially in places where young people may be vulnerable or gather in larger numbers. During the week beginning 3rd July we will be completing an assembly roadshow, a relay between our Trust schools and various fundraising events including a donation day on 7th July at each school. Thank you in anticipation of your support for our fundraising.
