We Need Your Help

CALL FOR LOCAL SUPPORT

The Knife Angel, otherwise known as the National Monument Against Violence and Aggression, is coming to Surrey throughout March 2023. Standing 27ft high and weighing 3.5 tons, it is a spectacular sculpture of an angel. Created over two years, the sculpture uses 100,000 knives collected during amnesties from 43 police forces across the UK.

Together with partners, charities and organisations, and sponsors, the team at Guildford Cathedral wish for as many people to experience this remarkable sculpture as possible. Across Guildford and Surrey, we will.

  • Host a series of educational workshops for schools
  • Hold Interactive events for families and young people
  • Work in partnership with and supporting organisations across the county involved with tackling violence and aggression
  • Creation of Videos and Resources by Schools to share with other Schools
  • Transport of Knife Angel
  • Transport for School Children to visit the Monument
  • Cover Security Costs
  • Lighting for the Knife Angel
  • Leave a Legacy | a donation made to charity partners at the end of the Knife Angel stay in Guildford

To achieve these ambitions, the team need to secure pledges and sponsorship from local organisations and businesses and the community.
