Closed Only Cowards Carry - Education on Knives and Weapons

Closed on

Only Cowards Carry is a Community Interest Company (8309109). We are petitioning the government to include Weapons Awareness in the national curriculum for primary and secondary education.

With recent glorification of guns and weapons in cartoons, films and computer games it is vitally important that future generations are educated on the risks, effects and damage they can cause to lives and families in the real world.
