Commissioner sees Knife Savers initiative in action 🙌

Lancashire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Clive Grunshaw, joined young people in Preston at The Foxton to see first-hand how over £10,000 of funding from his Lancashire Violence Reduction Network is supporting life-saving knife injury training.

Tonight we hosted the volunteer KnifeSavers programme in partnership with the ED Navigators, where young people aged 11–18 learned vital life-saving skills and what to do if someone suffers a knife wound or stabbing injury.

Our young people had the opportunity to meet Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw and BBC Radio Lancashire's Graham Liver, sharing their experiences and perspectives as young people living in Preston.

A huge thank you to the incredible volunteer doctors and NHS staff who delivered the session and spoke with more than 21 young people about how they could help save a friend's life in an emergency.

Empowering young people with knowledge, confidence, and practical skills can make a real difference in our communities. Thank you to everyone who made this important event possible.

Today, on International S*x Workers Day, we recognise the strength and resilience of women who may be facing some of life's most difficult challenges.

For 27 years, we has been committed to supporting vulnerable women across our communities through outreach, drop-in services, practical support, safety planning, harm reduction and emotional wellbeing support.

We know that many women face complex circumstances, including poverty, homelessness, trauma, abuse and isolation. Our role is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where women can access support, information and opportunities to improve their wellbeing and safety.

Our message has remained the same throughout the last 27 years:

💜 We Are Here 💜

We are here to listen.
We are here to support.
We are here to help people stay safe.
We are here to offer hope and practical help.
We are here whenever someone is ready to reach out.

Today, we thank our dedicated staff, volunteers, partners and, most importantly, the women who place their trust in us.

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect and compassion.

⭐ We Are Here. Today and every day ⭐
