Scottish Government Community Safety
No Knives Better Lives
No Knives, Better Lives is a youth engagement initiative aimed at educating young people about the dangers of carrying a knife and the devastating personal consequences it can have on their own future, as well as on their family and friends. A Scottish Government initiative, it is currently being rolled out around Scotland in partnership with local authorities and Community Safety Partnerships.
Stripe’s role is to engage and empower local groups to spread the word about No Knives, Better Lives, by supporting the implementation of a tailored package of campaign activities in communities and schools, and through targeted local and national media coverage.
In Inverclyde, where No Knives Better Lives was piloted, Stripe worked with the Scottish Government, Inverclyde Council, youth groups and local partners to stage a series of ‘Better Lives’ events, engaging ambassadors such as Radio Clyde DJ George Bowie and break dance crew The Flying Jalapenos.
Throughout the time we’ve worked with Stripe they’ve constantly delivered in what can often be a complex and demanding area of work. They are a great company to work with - enthusiastic, dynamic, friendly but most importantly of all they get the job done and they do it well.
