Due to the tragic events in Irvine during the summer and elsewhere we wish to raise awareness to the consequences of weapon carrying.

The Street Striker Knife Crime Initiative is a community-led project developed by ACES to tackle the growing issue of knife crime among young people in our local area. By combining sport, education, and early intervention, the initiative aims to divert young people away from violence, raise awareness of the devastating consequences of carrying knives, and equip young people with positive pathways for their futures. in effct change lives.

This innovative approach uses street striker and activites to suit those who don't like football as an entry point to engage young people who may otherwise be at risk of involvement in anti-social behaviour, or knife-related crime. Alongside Street striker , we will deliver interactive workshops, mentoring, and awareness sessions designed to educate, empower, and inspire
