Save Lives. Stop Knives.

HELP US FIGHT KNIFE CRIME AND PROTECT YOUNG LIVES ACROSS THE UK.

Every young life matters. Every intervention counts. Every donation can make a difference.

The Safety Box Foundation is a registered charity in England and Wales, dedicated to preventing knife crime, tackling violence and creating brighter futures for young people. We reinvest our resources into community-based programmes that equip young people with the confidence, resilience, skills and positive opportunities they need to make safer choices and fulfil their potential.

But we cannot do it alone.

Too many young people are growing up in communities affected by violence, exploitation and limited opportunities. At a time when early intervention is desperately needed, financial pressures and reductions in available funding threaten our ability to reach those most at risk.

Behind every statistic is a young person, a family and a future worth protecting.

Your support can help us reach more young people before violence changes their lives forever. Every contribution helps us deliver life-changing programmes, provide positive pathways and build safer, stronger communities.

TOGETHER, WE CAN BREAK THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE.

Donate. Fund a programme. Become a partner. Help us save lives.

Britain's knife crime crisis

The Safety Box is at the forefront of confronting one of the UK’s most alarming safety crises. In 2024, the ONS revealed a staggering 78% rise in knife crime since the pandemic a chilling reality that leaves every child and young person more vulnerable than ever before. Heartbreakingly, young boys remain the most frequent victims of this devastating surge, their futures overshadowed by a growing tide of violence. Together, we can prevent more young lives and their families from being shattered by violence.

“I was incensed about the lack of care and attention that people were showing about knife crime,”

Idris Elba
