The Great Get Together is a vehicle for change | Tony from London's campaign to end knife crime.

“When I found out about The Great Get Together I thought it would be the best vehicle to carry an anti-knife campaign”
The Great Get Together is inspired by Jo Cox, who was killed on the 16th of June 2016. In her first speech in Parliament, Jo said, ”We have more in common than that which divides us”. Through the Great Get Together, we ask people across the country to embrace Jo’s words and celebrate the belief that community makes us.
In this week’s organiser story we hear from Tony in Tower Hamlets who used his Great Get Together to tackle knife crime in his community.
Jo’s family and friends first organised the Great Get Together in 2017, and since then we have seen millions of people across the country take part in thousands of events.
