Campaigns

• Brighter futures

  Northern Ireland Crimestoppers' projects have focused on crime-related issues that affect young people such as knife crime, drugs, gangs and gun culture as part of the Citizenship Curriculum, using literature, websites, educational resources and musical presentations in schools and youth groups.

• Fear of crime

  As part of an outreach programme in Northern Ireland, targeted at young and old alike to promote the anonymous 0800 555 111 phone number, Crimestoppers joined forces with Age Concern Northern Ireland to launch a campaign to reduce the fear of crime held by older people in Northern Ireland.

• Never too young to learn

  This Crimestoppers initiative was created with the specific aim of interacting with children at an early age, so they could easily recognise the anonymous Crimestoppers phone number, 0800 555 111 and understand Crimestoppers' role within their community. The competition cleverly engaged with their parents as well to further raise the awareness of the fundamental Crimestoppers' values.

• Translink don't do graffiti

  We held a poster colouring-in competition, developed in association with Translink, following an appalling incident of graffiti on a newly refurbished station in North Down.

• Working in local schools

  New pop band 'Untouched', successfully toured local schools providing information to pupils, giving them the opportunity to make informed decisions about how to deal with issues like drugs and crime in their local community.
