This recognition means a great deal to us, and we dedicate it to our Ronan, whose incredible spirit continues to inspire our campaign. The loss of Ronan is a wound that will never heal, but in his memory, this award brings a sense of comfort and pride. Tragically, Ronan was murdered just days after his last GCSE exam, never having the chance to celebrate his achievements. This award is a tribute to him. We also profoundly thank Grace and Nathan from NBCPA for their warm welcome and heartfelt tribute.","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/jdalxny4twdt4tsdzkfsonqukodmfbdchl7lzmdr7eqovkii.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/jdalxny4twdt4tsdzkfsonqukodmfbdchl7lzmdr7eqovkii.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":46569,"title":"Pooja & Niki feature in Idris Elba's powerful BBC documentary on knife crime","url":"\/blog\/pooja-and-niki-feature-in-idris-elbas-powerful-bbc-documentary-on-knife-crime\/","urlTitle":"pooja-and-niki-feature-in-idris-elbas-powerful-bbc-documentary-on-knife-crime","division":294530,"description":"On 29th January 2025, BBC 1 aired a powerful new documentary by British actor and knife crime campaigner Idris Elba.
