The Home Office has backed 37 surrender bins as part of the scheme in London, Greater Manchester, and the West Midlands. It has launched eight new bins, taking the total to 45, in South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire, including in Barnsley, Sheffield, Leeds, and Wakefield. "Knife crime is down by 11% since the general election, but we will not stop until we meet our commitment of halving knife crime in a decade." In addition to the static surrender bins, managed by the charity Word 4 Weapons, a further 783 weapons were handed in at a mobile surrender van run by the organisation Fazamnesty. "It provides young people, and anyone else carrying a dangerous weapon, with a safe and anonymous opportunity to surrender it."
