For families affected by knife crime, prevention is urgent.<\/p>\n

Shanine Wright’s brother, Darrian Williams, was fatally stabbed<\/a> in a Bristol park in 2024. Two teenagers were later jailed for his murder.<\/p>\n

She now works with the Home Office to share her experiences.<\/p>\n

“The funding \u2013 it can’t be a temporary fix – it has to be something that’s permanent in order to keep the statistics down, as we say. <\/p>\n

“If the statistics are looking good, it’s not ‘oh, okay we’ve got to this level, let’s take it away’ – it has to stay for the long term.”<\/p>\n

Wright says she hopes the funding will enable services to work better together in future. <\/p>\n

“Unfortunately we have all these pockets of people doing stuff; and doing amazing things, but no one is linking together to ensure that the right things are being done.<\/p>\n

“I hope now we’ve got the young future hubs in place… it will do what we are missing, and that’s the collaboration in Bristol.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For families affected by knife crime, prevention is urgent.
