The Knife Angel Legacy Fund
Luton Only
Inspired by the visit of the Knife Angel to Luton in August 2024, the fund invites communities to talk about knife crime, antisocial behaviour and youth-based crime within Luton.
The fund aims to bring artists and creative organisations together with schools and community groups to collaborate, finding new ways to share thoughts and ideas. Learning from these discussions will inform new ideas around creative practice and allow authorities to hear from communities in a celebration of citizen power. Grants of up to £3,600 can be considered supporting community and voluntary activity in Luton. The fund aims to support 20 projects, one in each ward of Luton.
The Knife Angel Legacy Fund is administered by the Bedfordshire & Luton Community Foundation (BLCF), on behalf of Luton Rising and Arts Council England.
