While at the college, Carl bravely shared his personal experiences with gang activity and knife-related violence from a young age, bringing raw honesty and powerful insights to our students. His journey from those difficult experiences to becoming a force for change left a lasting impact on everyone. Through Project Youth, Carl is now working tirelessly to help at-risk youth and support families affected by these issues.
Another part of Carl’s work has been placing life-saving emergency bleed control kits in key locations across the UK. These kits are already making a difference, with lives saved in central London thanks to this initiative.
Katie Whiteman, Curriculum Manager: Engineering & Science, who joined her engineering students for the talk said, "We are incredibly grateful to Carl from Project Youth for his visit. His honest storytelling and actionable message left a lasting impact on our students and staff alike.”
A huge thank you to Carl and Project Youth for visiting our college and encouraging our students to reflect on the serious implications of knife crime.
