Knife CrimeMatters.
We put free knife crime prevention resources into UK schools, funded by businesses like yours and delivered end to end by Knife Crime Matters.
A Registered CIC Making Real Change.
Knife Crime Matters CIC was founded with a single purpose: to reduce knife crime through education, awareness and community presence. We are not a campaign. We are not a charity rattling a tin. We are a structured, registered Community Interest Company. Accountable, evidenced, and trusted by some of the country’s leading organisations.
Our Founder and Director, Andrew Brown, has built Knife Crime Matters into a nationally recognised organisation working alongside British Transport Police, football club foundations, construction firms, housing associations and local authorities, delivering resources directly into schools, for free.
Every partnership we form, every mural we install, every resource we put into a classroom is documented, evidenced and publicly acknowledged. This is structured, impactful community investment.
Three Pillars of Community Action.
Everything Knife Crime Matters does falls into one of three areas, each designed to create tangible, lasting impact in communities across the UK.

“I was proud that Keepmoat could be one of the sponsors. If there are any businesses out there that want to join us in helping to get a bleed kit in every secondary school across the UK, so that hopefully no other young person has to lose their life to knife crime, get involved.”
“I wanted to thank you for the Knife Crime booklet and resources. Upon careful evaluation, I find these materials to be of praiseworthy quality and relevance. Moving forward, I intend to incorporate these resources into our curriculum, as they align well with our educational objectives and contribute meaningfully to our efforts in addressing knife crime.”
Knife Crime Matters In the Media.
Our work has been featured on BBC Radio Sheffield and across national and local press, amplifying the message and our partners’ names with it.
The Cause Is Real & Urgent.
Knife crime affects communities across the UK every day. Knife Crime Matters remains at the forefront: in the press, in schools, and on the streets.
