LIFT LIFT is committed to working holistically with individuals, families, and the community.

We take a whole-family approach, using the Key Working model to provide tailored support. LIFT’S aims & objectives are to assist families to learn new skills to improve their lives and encourage their children to grow up feeling loved, safe and respected so that they can realise their full potential. Through support and advocacy LIFT aims to tackle child poverty, increase wellbeing for individuals

and families, to allow them to move forward from poverty and crises. This will be done in a variation of one – one support and group work sessions. Group work will consist of upskilling, cooking on a budget, budgeting, confidence building and employability skills. LIFT will follow Every Child, Every Chance model, working towards reducing child poverty, learn new skills to increase employment and training opportunities, assisting families to move forward from poverty and crises.

Just for clarification Lisa Petrie campaign is for “ Not in Van” is for the removal off knives readily available in the supermarkets and online not just the amazing, life saving Bleed Kits she has provided to over 100 projects, schools, pubs and clubs

Why is it only now there’s a sudden interest in removing knives from our streets when Lisa has been protesting and meeting with anyone who will listen since John was murdered in September.

The council should be behind Lisa and her campaign because does it matter what colour or religion we are we are all at risk off knife crime.

It’s frustrating when we have campaigned so strongly since John was murdered and worked with our councillors and MSP and MP yet now I’m reading the “Edinburgh council are set to call for crack down on availably off knives in wake off the attack on the Muslim community”
Why does it matter what religion we are we are all important and should be safe on our streets,

MAYBE IF THE COUNCIL LISTENED TO LISA BACK IN SEPTEMBER!!!!!!!!

Lisa has a petition with over 50,000 signatures on it

Not in vain is her petition and campaign to remove knifes

JMBK are the life saving kits she is fundraising to make sure people are safe.

We need to all stick together no matter what race religion we are to get supermarkets and other retailers to listen to us and make our streets safe and get behind Lisa’s campaign before we lose another life to knife crime!
