Knife Angel leaving Harlow

Saturday afternoon saw the closing ceremony of the Knife Angel’s visit to Harlow.

Roger Hirst, PFCC for Essex and Chair of the Violence and Vulnerability Partnership joined guests at Harlow Playhouse Square for an evening of speeches, performances and poetry from community leaders, artists, and advocates. All of whom had come together to address the issue of knife crime and promote healing and unity within the Harlow community.

The Knife Angel leaves Harlow to start a month-long residency outside the Jumbo Water Tower in Colchester.
