We know that this scheme with Word 4 Weapons and Islington Council plays an important role in keeping our community safe, which is why we funded one of the bins on Central Street. As Cllr Sue Lukes 🌹🌹🌹🌳 notes, every knife dropped in the bin 'is a potential life saved'.
More than 1,000 knives and other bladed items have been collected since October in knife bins we installed in partnership with weapons surrender charity Word 4 Weapons. The bins give people a safe and anonymous way to dispose of knives, reducing their potential to cause harm. 1/4
The Lighthouse project partnered with #LoveYourNeighbour in the Love Christmas campaign, giving out a million boxes of hope.
Today we filled our 5000th box, every one of which goes to people in need across East London.
Thank you to everyone involved!

We are really pleased to help fund the important installation of this knife-bin on Hornsey Road and will to continue to support the great work of Word 4 Weapons 🤝
We have a new @Word4Weapons knife-bin at the junction of Hornsey Road and Citizen Road in Highbury West. You can bin blades safely there. Over a thousand knives were deposited in another bin up the road in Tollington in the first 6 months after installation. #LondonNeedsYouAlive
We are so moved by this. We hope you are uplifted the way we were! #TheUKBlessing m.youtube.com/watch?v=ECjsi_…
