Your Community

W4W as an organisation cannot solve the knife crime epidemic alone but community partnership can.

Community outreach involves community members coming together in attempts to tackle a shared problem, typically an issue affecting the community’s local area. Community groups can work in partnership with W4W, which can often be helpful in gaining funding to further the impact of activities.

We want Community Neighbourhood Watch, local authorities and law enforcement teams to actively encourage community members to participate in neighbourhood watch programmes, patrols, and other initiatives that foster a sense of community ownership and safety.

Working with Communities in and outside of London can make a massive impact on knife Crime.  

Identifying areas of the community with high or low participation rates helps us evaluate how well the programme reaches different neighbourhoods and its effectiveness.
