The Bucks organisation called 'In This Together' are trying to put an end to knife crime in Aylesbury.

The organisation has been the first to get a publicly available knife amnesty bin, which is simply a lock box for people to throw away their knives without judgment from others.

The Founders, Adele and Afzaal started In this Together after they both lost someone near and dear to them due to knife crime.

Since it's set up the knife amnesty bin has received over 150 knives. It has also sparked the interest of police forces around the country to try and get an amnesty bin for their local areas.
