Mark has an article in the Guardian this week on the UK government’s response to knife crime:
“The government’s response to knife-crime hysteria, the youth crime action plan, is an expensive package of measures, almost exclusively punitive in nature. No surprises there. And let’s not be surprised when it all ends in failure.”
Watch the television coverage of Mark receiving his Prince’s Trust Award at the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards.
Carol Vorderman hosts the show, while the award is presented to Mark by Victoria Beckham. There is also a tribute to Mark’s achievements by the Prince of Wales.
Mark is currently in South Africa working with Khulisa, a crime intervention charity working in Prisons and in Townships with vulnerable people.
We’ll bring you some photographs from his trip as soon as we can.
