The Bolton Town Centre Neighbourhood Team are running a competition for anyone aged 17 or under to assist us in designing their new knife amnesty bin, specially made and generously donated by Bolton Council. The amnesty bin will be used for events across Bolton to collect bladed articles that can be anonymously and safely disposed of. 

GMP Bolton are looking for children and youths that live within Bolton to help us design artwork and slogans that are impactive and would deter knife crime, encouraging people to think twice before they carry a knife. 

If you know someone that would like to enter, please see the attached document. This can be returned to the front desk of Bolton Police Station, Scholey Street, for the attention of PS 17022 Prudence. Please also feel free to share with any schools within the Bolton area. 

Please make sure the details of the parent/guardian are attached, along with a contact number for them. 

The closing date is the 20/07/2025.
