Welwyn Garden City is currently host to the amazing, Knife Angel. A national monument designed and created by Alfie Bradley, it is crafted from more than 100,000 knives and blades confiscated by the police across the country. Some knives have been signed by victim's families. The aim of the amazing sculpture is 'to raise awareness about the consequences of knife crime and violence and to spark conversations about the need for social change and peace', and it is 'an opportunity to remember all those who have fallen victim to knife crime and violence'. It is a spectacular piece of art and very thought provoking.
The Knife Angel can be seen outside The Howard Centre for the rest of October (concluding on 30th October). It is well worth a visit and would make a great talking point during half-term!
More information about the sculpture and events running throughout the month can be found here.
To mark the occasion, the Police & Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire is running an art competition for young people under 25.

"I started coming to Lynn's class four months after the complicated labour of my twin girls. It was perfect for us - tummy checks, easy parking and plenty of space inside for babies and prams. Most importantly the class is very flexible for all stages of recovery and with Lynn's encouragement I was able to increase the intensity of my workout as my confidence and fitness improved. I would definitely recommend it!"
