What is Co-Funding?
Co-funding with the ALMT allows individuals, other Trusts and Foundations, and Companies to contribute funds directly to individual, vetted and approved, project partnerships. With fifteen years of experience awarding grants and working in partnership with children’s organisations around the world, the ALMT is best placed to support you in your philanthropy.
There is a high correlation between knife crime and poverty/deprivation. In addition, lack of knowledge and fear can perpetuate the cycle of violence. The Ben Kinsella Trust addresses this through the education of young people about the dangers of knife crime, revealing misconceptions, challenging assumptions and helping young people to make positive choices to stay safe.
The Trust’s immersive, anti-knife crime workshops take place in purpose-built exhibitions where young people learn about the dangers of knife through combined role play, video testimony featuring life stories, quizzes and surveys to keep young people engaged and empower them to make safer choices.
Schools in deprived areas with high knife crime levels are less likely to have sufficient funds to visit the workshops, even at a reduced rate. This project will allow 50 eligible schools per year to book workshops for free, enabling access for over one thousand pupils per year.
