In one of the most disadvantaged inner-city neighbourhoods in the country, a community project is working to transform the lives of young people – using horses.

The latest stats show knife-related crimes are at their highest numbers for nine years – a 45.7% increase. While the government and police debate how best to tackle the crisis, some community figures are taking it upon themselves to stem the flow of murders.

In response Dwayne's mother Lorraine set up a boxing gym to honour his legacy of community outreach.
