After being stabbed 18 times, Faron has dedicated his life relentlessly campaigning to prevent knife and gun crime across the country. Faron set up the charity FAZAMNESTY to physically take knives off the streets and has worked with organisations across the country to promote creating safe spaces for youth and adults to do this anonymously. He has built up a trusted social media presence which has enabled him to go into potentially life-threatening environments to recover dangerous weapons with minimal resistance from those he is collecting them from.
