YOUNG People Help With Anti-Knife Campaign

Tuesday, 31 August 2010 |

YOUNG people from Inverclyde helped to get the anti-knife message across in Paisley.

The Speak Up Inverclyde group joined with Renfrewshire Youth Voice to promote the next stage of the No Knives Better Lives campaign at the 10km race in Paisley. The young people handed out flyers and asked people to sign their pledge in support of No Knives Better Lives.

The group got more than 150 signatures and the young people were all very proactive in getting their message out to everyone at the event.

Andy McCullagh from Speak Up Inverclyde said: "It’s good to see No Knives Better Lives being rolled out further in other areas as its an extremely important message.

“It makes sense for us to help out as we were one of the first areas to pilot the No Knives Better Lives campaign, and we were more than happy to help Renfrewshire Youth Voice, and look forward to doing more work with them in the near future."
