The Peace ACT : Activating Creative Talent CIC

http://www.actcic.org.uk/

I have been one of the Directors for Activating Creative Talent CIC since 2012 up until the present day.

Activating Creative Talent (ACT) CIC is Social Enterprise dedicated to Personal, Social, Emotional and Spiritual Development of Children and Young People. ACT CIC use creative arts as a mechanism for engagement and to facilitate growth. ACT CIC specialises in creating spaces for young people to increase self-awareness; encouraging young people to become more introspective and look at the correlation between their thinking, actions, and the world around them all of which are the very essence of all our programmes.

– One of our current focus is the Knife Awareness Project (KAP). This project aims to help make our communities a safer place for our children to grow up in, by reducing the amount of young people who carry knives both now and in the future. We chose to set up the Knife Awareness Project after the high numbers of young people being killed across the country.
Knife carrying is now at epidemic proportions within the UK, and whilst government statistics show a decline in knife crime over the last 10 years, the latest information provided by the West Midlands Emergency and Trauma team suggest otherwise. The team say that up to 90 people per month are being seen in Hospital for knife wounds. Second only to car accidents the team stated, as many as 3 people per day are being treated for knife wounds in the West Midlands alone.
Interested or want to get involved – please add and suggest friends with the KAP Team https://www.facebook.com/knifeawarenessproject?fref=ts
