The It Doesn't Have to Happen anti-knife campaign web site launches today. It gives young people ideas on how to campaign such as inviting speakers to schools, making a video and making a mural.

Groups can receive up £10,000 a year for each project over the course of three years, and the Home Office is particularly looking for applications from voluntary and community sector grass roots organisations with a track record of working with vulnerable young people to deter them from gun, gang and knife crime.
