Bringing anti-knife crime talks to schools across the UK…

Described as the most powerful and hard-hitting knife crime and child protection talks, Byron has delivered his message on BBC and ITV, and also works alongside the police. Using his traumatic experience to help young people understand the severity of youth crime.

My name is Byron Highton, and I dedicate my life to stopping knife crime in the UK.

My younger brother Jon-Jo was killed in 2014, my brother was stabbed over 50 times in the last year of his life and the effects of all this has left me with PTSD.

I now use this pain to educate others on the aftermath of knife crime, working alongside Manchester Police, Lancashire Police, CPS, Fire Services, and many more.

I have delivered my talk to over 15,000 people in the last year alone.
