Hereford Voice Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Knife Angel Hereford Who are we? Alison Davies lost her son Mark to knife crime in December 2018 and together with Meryl Cain and a small group of friends wanted to raise awareness of the catastrophic impact violent crime has on individuals, families and communities. The team’s involvement with this project is carried out on a voluntary basis. The group are known as The Knife Angel Hereford Team. What is the Plan? The Knife Angel is coming to Hereford on June 14 – July 12 2021 hosted by Hereford Cathedral. During the Knife Angel’s visit we will run a series of workshops and interactive events. It is envisaged that this initiative will continue after the Knife Angel leaves Hereford. The majority of host towns & cities to date have had a knife amnesty whilst the Angel is in situ. We will have a general weapons amnesty, with the approval of West Mercia Police. There is a “weapon surrender” secure bin which travels with the Angel. Events During the Knife Angel’s stay in Hereford, there will be; Series of free public workshops and events at The Cathedral and venues in the City. National Conference, engaging with professionals in related spheres. This will be an online, ticketed event. Youth Conference, identifying young people’s needs and issues which they feel have a negative impact on them and their community. Weapon amnesty in operation for the duration of the Angel’s visit, approved by West Mercia Police, a secure weapon surrender bin travels with The Angel. Opening Ceremony and Closing Vigil. Funding Knife Angel Hereford need to raise funds to cover the cost of workshops, conferences, promotional campaigns and literature, printing costs, lighting, plus 24-hour security and insurance for this valuable and unique statue.
