It was a pleasure to have @CommandoChef visiting young people in Kent this week🥳. Commando Chef is not only helping young people with his inputs, he is also helping us spread the message that a rounded-end knife is perfectly fine to use and is safer than a pointed-end.
What a mad few days, it started with the King & PM then onto Kent Police and finally work in 3 Pupil Referral Units and School - all based around Violent Knife Crime -trying to inspire through the platform of food - Knife in the Kitchen not on Street. Thank you @KentVRU 👊
