The No Way Trust

In a significant step toward preventing crime and promoting safety in the Humber region, the Tribune Trust has awarded £3,000 to The No Way Trust, a charity dedicated to educating young people about crime and safety issues. The grant was presented by Chris Henson, the High Sheriff of Hull and East Yorkshire. The £3,000 grant will match fund five Crime & Safety Awareness Days for secondary school children, which will take place in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the region. Each event is carefully tailored to address local crime and safety concerns, with a range of interactive workshops covering topics such as knife crime, county lines, antisocial behaviour, and the consequences of crime. These sessions are led by a team that includes local police, fire services, and even ex-prisoners, who share their personal experiences to offer invaluable insight. 

The No Way Trust’s founder, Collette Watson, expressed her gratitude, emphasizing the importance of early intervention in guiding young people toward positive life choices. "By helping these young people understand the serious consequences of criminal behaviour, we empower them to make better decisions for themselves and their communities," Watson said. Chris Henson, who presented the grant, praised the charity’s efforts in tackling crime and supporting vulnerable youth. "The No Way Trust's work is crucial in helping steer young people away from risky behaviours and giving them the tools they need to build a safer future." With this funding, The No Way Trust will reach approximately 1,250 young people, providing them with the knowledge and resources to make safer, more informed decisions. The project is a vital part of the region's ongoing efforts to reduce youth crime and ensure a brighter future for the next generation.
