We are proud to dedicate our upcoming match against Aveley on Saturday 5 April to raising awareness about knife crime and promoting Football Against Violence and Anti-Knife Crime.
Knife crime has risen rapidly in our town, making it increasingly difficult to tackle. That’s why we are working alongside Safer Slough, Thames Valley Police, Communities Against Violence, and other local and national organisations to help combat this issue and steer young people towards a different path.
At Arbour Park, there will be informational stands from various community groups and organisations, each offering advice, support, and insights into the work they do in Slough. If you have any questions or concerns about violence in the town, this is an opportunity to get guidance, access resources, or share your observations. Thames Valley Police will also have a stand, welcoming any enquiries or concerns.
As part of this initiative, we are also hosting a special match at 6pm after the Aveley game. This will see a team made up of players from various ethnic communities in Slough take on a team from Thames Valley Police. We are honoured to welcome children and adults affected by knife crime as guests, reinforcing how football can be a powerful force for good in our community.
We encourage all Slough Town fans to join us at Arbour Park to support this initiative. Together, we can take a stand against knife crime and work towards a safer future for our town.
