ABOUT DSYF Mission statement

Celebrating and amplifying the voices of marginalised communities and those most affected by knife crime, through the colour, music and unity of Carnival.

We work with partners who share our passion for change, from iconic brands to grassroots crews making a difference in their communities.

I was incensed about the lack of care and attention that people were showing about knife crime.”
