A NEW website highlighting the dedicated work of an anti-knife campaigner has gone live.

Theresa Cave set up the Chris Cave Foundation in memory of her son who was stabbed to death more than a decade ago.

Now her hard work will be accessible to a wider audience as her anti-violence message is spread far and wide through the internet.

The site is planned to act as a key information hub on news and information relating to knife and other violent crime across Britain, while also providing a place for those who have been directly affected to come together and discuss experiences.

On Sunday the fundraising continued for the foundation, which evolved out of her Mothers for Justice group, as Steven Largan and his 12-year-old son Jamie launched themselves of Middlesbrough's Transporter Bridge with just a bungee rope tied around their ankles.

Announcing the new site's launch, Ms Cave said: "It is important to maintain a high level of knife and violent crime awareness in the country and to provide education, especially for young people, to try to stop the stabbings and other attacks that happen too often.

"I lost my son to knife crime and I won't stop working to get out the message that violence isn't the answer. People must put down their fists, knives and any other weapons.

“To hear knife crime is rising means it is more important than ever to focus on hard-hitting messages and education to try to change hearts and minds of those who decide to use violence and carry weapons that can kill.”

The foundation is primarily a legacy to young people, aiming to educate and inform with the main aim to eliminate violent crimes.

She added: "The new website set up in Chris's memory is a very effective way to communicate about this work and I'm very grateful to White Hat Media for their excellent work putting it together and for the financial support from the National Lottery."

The campaigner approached Mark Chapman, client strategy and services director at White Hat Media, to build the website after they had met online many years ago, sharing experiences as well as similar desires and drive to stop knife crime and other violence.

Mr Chapman set up his own UK knife crime blog after he and his family were caught up in a stabbing during a Saturday lunchtime party at a McDonald’s restaurant in Chichester, West Sussex, in 2005.
