NHS London has published today the report of its independent investigation into the care and treatment of Barrington McKenzie, the man who stabbed Tom-Louis Easton to death - and the reason why the Flavasum Trust was set up. Below we include a response from Tom's family, and notice of a BBC2 documentary about killings by people with mental health problems in which Tom's mother is interviewed.

Can you help by donating a Christmas present to the Trust?

If you are looking for presents for relatives or friends who have everything, why not send us the money you would have spent on their gifts?

We’ll send them a special card – illustrated with one of the cartoons below – explaining that you have donated their present to the Trust, and telling them what we’re doing.

That way you are helping us get knives and weapons off the street and at the same time giving an unusual Christmas present!

If you are working with agencies or organisations tasked with helping disadvantaged, marginalised or at-risk young people, or are responsible for developing policy or funding strategies, this invitation is for you!
