Police Scotland have launched a month-long awareness campaign across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde to highlight the dangers and consequences of violence and to signpost young people, parents, carers and teachers to support and educational resources.
The campaign is being led locally in partnership with Fearless, the youth service of Crimestoppers, and No Knives, Better Lives (NKBL), with activity taking place throughout April in schools, online and at two local football fixtures.
As part of the campaign, No Knives, Better Lives supported awareness activity at Saturday’s William Hill Premiership match between St Mirren and Aberdeen at The SMiSA Stadium. This included NKBL messaging displayed on screens within the stadium and Police Scotland Youth Volunteers handing out leaflets outside the ground.
Alongside the matchday activity, information will be shared with parents, carers and teachers from all the region’s secondary schools, signposting them to resources from both Fearless and No Knives, Better Lives.
