An anti-knife crime charity’s message reached thousands of people at one of Suffolk’s biggest music events.
The Be Lucky Anti-Knife Crime Foundation, set up in memory of Dean Stansby, distributed about 9,000 flyers at Ipswich Music Day, having recently registered as a charitable organisation.
Be Lucky was launched by tattoo artist Paul Stansby, brother of Dean, 41, who was killed in Ipswich in 2017.
It aims to educate young people on the dangers of gangs, and help families affected by violent crime through financial support for counselling and services.
Be Lucky's Jamie Hart, who works with Paul at Lucky 13 tattoo parlour, hoped the awareness raising drive would help emphasise that knife crime concerns everyone in society.
Help on the day came from volunteers including local Round Table members, while more supporters attended the Kickoff@3 charity football day in Bromley, where two Suffolk teams competed.
