Together for Change

Knife crime has had a devastating impact on Bristol in 2024, so Bristol Live has joined forces with others to launch a campaign saying enough is enough. In a show of solidarity to illustrate we are speaking with one voice, we have united alongside community leaders, charities and campaigners to launch Together for Change.
