Caroline Shearer set up Only Cowards Carry Weapons Awareness after her son was fatally stabbed on the 8th September 2012. Caroline noticed there was no provision on the curriculum re the awareness of weapons. So now the Only Cowards Carry Team attend schools, academies, colleges, youth clubs and prisons delivering a tailored weapons awareness workshops.

Continually driven by the devastating loss of Jay, Caroline and her team has worked tirelessly to promote Only Cowards Carry Weapons Awareness in the hope that young people understand the stark facts and true reality of knife crime. The ‘down-to-earth’ courses are graphically designed to leave no doubt of the damage that can be inflicted by a knife (and other dangerous weapons) and just how quickly a wound can prove fatal. They are aimed at preventing young people choosing to carry a dangerous weapon in the future.
