OneMaidstone at Number Ten

Earlier this year, the OneMaidstone BID team delivered on a promise to our community.

Throughout Septmeber 2022, Maidstone was host to The Knife Angel. An 8.5m high sculpture, made from over 100,000 blades, weapons and knives surrendered from knife amnesties across the UK.

Facilitated by OneMaidstone BID, Maidstone became the 25th location to host The Knife Angel on it’s national tour, raising awareness and providing accompanying educational resources for the community. As part of our work, we committed to hand delivering the pledge book to 10 Downing Street.

This March we had the honour of representing the community of Maidstone by knocking on the famous door and giving Maidstone’s book to our government.

Thank you to everyone who signed the pledge book and to those who contributed to The Knife Angel while we were hosting.
