Who We Are.Why We Do It.
Everything you need to know about Knife Crime Matters CIC – our work, our partners, our impact and our credibility.
A Registered CIC
Making Real Change.
Knife Crime Matters CIC was founded with a single purpose: to reduce knife crime through education, awareness and community presence. We are not a campaign. We are not a charity rattling a tin. We are a structured, registered Community Interest Company – accountable, evidenced, and trusted by some of the country’s leading organisations.
Our Founder and Director, Andrew Brown, has built KCM into a nationally recognised organisation, working alongside British Transport Police, football club foundations, construction firms, housing associations, and local authorities to deliver resources where they are needed most – directly into schools, for free.
Every partnership we form, every mural we install, every resource we put into a classroom is documented, evidenced, and publicly acknowledged.
Three Pillars of Community Action.
Everything KCM does falls into one of three areas – each designed to create tangible, lasting impact. Not just raise awareness, but change behaviour and save lives.

Trusted By Those Who Use Our Work.
I wanted to thank you for the Knife Crime booklet and resources. Upon careful evaluation, I find these materials to be of praiseworthy quality and relevance. Moving forward, I intend to incorporate these resources into our curriculum, as they align well with our educational objectives and contribute meaningfully to our efforts in addressing and educating students about the issue of knife crime.
Great report, thank you – it will go down well, and it is amazing what you are achieving in spreading the word. Almost every day on the news we are hearing of knife crime incidents so anything you and others can do to reduce this ridiculous waste of lives, the better the world will be. Please do keep it up and we are more than happy to support in some small way.
KCM In the Media.
Our work has been featured on BBC Radio Sheffield, across local and national press, and shared by police forces and community organisations nationwide.
The Cause Is Real & Urgent.
Knife crime affects communities across England and Wales every day. KCM remains at the forefront – in the press, in schools, and on the streets.
Two school-aged children die each month from knife injuries in England – most fatalities the result of a single stab wound.
Our sincere gratitude to Paul Hickman, Managing Director at GCD Security Ltd, for their continued and generous support.
A 16-year-old was discovered with severe injuries on a city street in Leeds. This is why KCM’s work matters in every community, every day.
