Never Such Innocence

About the organization

Never Such Innocence charity began as a First World War commemoration project for children and young people. Inspired by this conflict, more than 11,000 young people from 47 different countries, territories and dependencies created poetry, artwork, and songs. Never Such Innocence aims to give children and young people across the world a voice on conflict. It offers opportunities to reflect on conflict throughout history and today through poetry, art, speech and song. From 2019, it is expanding its focus to include Conflict in all forms and throughout history, up to and including the present day. This includes conflicts at community-level such as knife crime and gang violence.
