Campaign: | To prevent gun and knife crime |
We know of people who have been affected by knife and gun crime and want to show young people that there is a better alternative to street culture, like studies and a good education.
We decided to write a song and, with the help of Fixers, create a music video, speaking out against violent crime.
Our message is simple, think twice about carrying a gun or a knife.
Thank you the following for helping us with our Fix:
Hayley Crisholm | Shanade Fraser |
Chloe Burkinshaw | Chanelle Grierson |
Lorraine Fraser
Thank you to Lorraine for appearing in our broadcast piece and supporting our song, after losing her own son to knife crime.
She says:
'I think it's really good what you're trying to do, and when you do good, good follows. You're doing good girls and I will back you in anything you want to do.'
