FIGHTING

KNIFE CRIME

You're never too late to start You just have to start to be great Tyler Campbell, Founder, Fridays Coventry

F

ridays Coventry is a youth initiative I set up to prevent knife crime and gang violence in Coventry. Our aim is to tackle anti-social behaviour, and provide opportunities to better young people’s future. Our ambitions do not end there. You will definitely be seeing a Fridays London for the future. It’s our dream to have Fridays buildings in the other major cities like Liverpool and 26

Manchester, and elsewhere as time goes on. Our work has started to be recognised nationally. Massive news is that we recently won the National CrimeBeat Award 2022. We are so grateful for this recognition, and can’t wait for the future to come. This is our story. I started Fridays when I was in college studying media. Knife crime was increasing significantly in 2019. www.FightingKnifeCrime.London
