About us
The Ben Kinsella Trust is one of the UK’s leading anti-knife crime charities. We were set up
following the tragic murder of 16-year-old Ben Kinsella in 2008, and everything we do is
guided by his legacy. Our mission is to prevent knife crime by educating and campaigning:
we help young people to stay safe.
Ben was a kind, creative young person who loved art, music, Arsenal FC, and making
people laugh. He had big dreams of becoming a graphic designer. His death was a
senseless act of violence, and the outpouring of grief and public support that followed
marked the start of a movement. Ben’s own words, written shortly before his death, called for
change, and his voice continues to inspire our work.
Through immersive workshops in our Choices and Consequences Exhibitions and free
online resources, we have reached over 50,000 young people. Our work challenges myths
about knife crime, strengthens peer influence, and sparks meaningful conversations. As we
grow, we remain committed to honouring Ben’s life by making a real, lasting difference to
young people across the UK.
We’re a small team of 10, growing shortly to 14, working across Programmes, Fundraising
and Communications, Finance and Operations and Leadership.
Ben’s legacy is our guide – we exist to stop knife crime.
