More than 230 school children in Lancashire have reportedly responded to the gospel following a tour encouraging them to put down their knives.

The No More Knives Tour from Manchester-based Christian charity The Message, in partnership with local police, has challenged thousands of young people in secondary schools across Lancashire and Manchester to lay down their knives.
