Past Events
Kings Cross new concourse opening
We're delighted to announce the opening of the new concourse at
King's Cross which occurred on Monday 19th March 2012. This
completes the first phase of the redevelopment to transform your
station into a world-class transport hub, fit for the 21st Century
and a station to be proud of. After years in the making, the new
western concourse now offers passengers a destination like no
other.
With such an exciting new mix of things to do - how will you
start your journey at King's Cross. For more information please see
the Network
Rail website.
Peabody Trust ‘Staying Safe Project’ in
conjunction with BTP.
The Peabody Trust Community
Saying No to Knife Crime starting from February 2010 and
finishing in January 2013.
With the support from a dedicated team of a
Project Manager, youth workers and specialist contractors, young
people will develop and manage an interactive website providing
online advice and support to those engaged or on the brink of
engagement with gangs and/or knife crime. This gives the young
people the opportunity to voice their own opinions on the
development of pro-social behaviours and how this relates to their
own communities in a safe and equal forum.
Although only in its planning stages the
project aims to help young local people gain a greater
understanding of the impact of violence, gun and knife crime in
their schools and communities thereby introducing discussion
on non-violent alternatives that promote social
change.
Young people aged 13-19 will design, develop
and manage a campaign providing free learning activities for other
young people to help them tackle the issue of violence. By taking a
lead role, young people will develop new skills and knowledge in
campaigning, website development and facilitating discussions in
youth groups and schools, which will increase their employability
and economic well being for the future.
BTP and Peabody hope to
develop with Newlon Fusion youth workers providing 'Weapon
Awareness’' sessions, ‘Crime stoppers’, and on going Group Work
sessions.
As an incentive to keep young people interested,
BTP
would provide four free
trips a year and a plain clothed police officer to
accompany for young people and youth workers on trips
