{ What's on this week }

SHOTGUN AND KNIFE CRIME QUESTION TIME
Monday 28 January
6.30pm-8.30pm  at Coin Street Neighbourhood Centre, 108
Stamford Street
Lambeth resident and shotgun survivor David King tells his
story. Chaired by Vauxhall MP Kate Hoey, the event discusses
gun and knife crime in the Waterloo area. Outlining how gun
and knife crime in this area compares to other areas and
what could be done is Superintendent Dave McLaren from
Lambeth Police. Jacob Whittingham of local youth
organisation SE1 United gives an insight into the local
situation from a young person's perspective, and Brian
Dickens of Community Action Zone talks about positive role
modelling. It was in 1994 that David King was shot at point
blank range in East Dulwich and his promising boxing career
abruptly ended. David lost his left eye and was in a
critical condition for six months with shotgun pellets
lodged in his brain. Since his recovery he has been
campaigning against the dangers of gangs, guns and violent
video games. The event provides opportunities for questions
and answers as well as time for an open floor discussion.

A giant buzz wire in the shape of the word 'pain' will be
set up on the South Bank to launch Pfizer's new Pain
Exchange website. As participants cautiously navigate the
wire's twists and turns to reach the end of the word, any
accidental touches are notched up with sounds and words
which appear on screens either side of the wire to reflect
pain as it increases in severity.
