The aim of the No More County Lines tour is to inform, equip and empower your students with the skills and knowledge they need to say no to drug exploitation.
Lessons combine teaching students about the dangers of drugs, gang culture and drug-related violence with educating them on how they can be part of the solution, all whilst sharing the Christian message of hope. We also aim to signpost to venues where students can seek the help that they need or report a situation they’re involved in (under the supervision of the local police force).
Each lesson, which is led by a representative of The Message Trust, includes music performances, video content, personal stories and presentations on drug-related exploitation from local Police representatives.
“It was an excellent, fun way of learning that got the kids fully engaged.”
