Anti-knife campaigner from Wrexham receives police award
On Thursday, individuals and organisations from across North Wales were recognised for their outstanding contributions to community safety and wellbeing at the Police and Crime Commissioner's Community Awards. Among them was Danny Maddocks, whose tireless anti-knife campaigning began following the murder of his 34-year-old brother Craig in a knife attack at the Cambrian Vaults pub, Wrexham, on June 26, 2013. Nominated for the Volunteer Award for Safety, Mr Maddocks has worked closely with the Youth Justice Service, visiting schools, boxing clubs and gyms to deliver knife awareness sessions to young people. He also set up the On the Knife Edge Facebook page to help share the message and raise awareness. Mr Maddocks, who now lives on the Wirral, said: "The award is an honour. I started volunteering to try educating people of the dangers knives can cause. "Thanks to working in partnership with North Wales Police, the real award has been the impact – especially when people have surrendered knives as part of the campaign. "This means fewer knives on the streets and the less associated danger. "I just hope this work prevents another family going through the loss and suffering our family did. "I will continue to do all I can to prevent knife crime in our area.' Speaking of the awards event itself, he said: "It was brilliant, and I met a lot of lovely people. "It was really good to hear about other people's achievements on the night as well. "I took my mum and my wife to the awards event and it was touching at times. "I'm still quite surprised that I received the award, but it's very good to be recognised for the work I do. "There is a lot more work to be done." North Wales PCC Andy Dunbobbin, left, and Danny Maddocks with his award (OPCC) (Image: Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales) Mr Maddocks said the award has given him a boost in his campaigning and may have opened up new opportunities for partnership working with other organisations. "I'm definitely going to continue," he said. "I think this really needs to be included in education for young people." Held at the Quay Hotel and Spa in Deganwy, the awards event brought together more than 100 guests, including members of the public, emergency service workers, political representatives, charity leaders, and partners from across the third sector. The award winners were nominated by North Wales Police officers, staff, and volunteers, who highlighted individuals and groups they've partnered with during their work, recognising those who have shown dedication, empathy, and a commitment to justice and rehabilitation. MOST READ North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner, Andy Dunbobbin, said: 'These awards shine a light on the people and organisations who consistently go above and beyond. "Whether through supporting victims, guiding those at risk, or simply showing up when it matters most, their efforts strengthen our communities. "I'm grateful for their commitment and care, especially as we celebrate national Volunteers Week across the UK. They truly make North Wales a better, safer place for all.'

'Dangerous' North Wales teacher jailed for string of child sex offences
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A former North Wales teacher has been jailed for eight years with four more years on licence after committing a string of child sex offences. Simon Clark, 46, from Ellesmere Port but now of no fixed address, posed as a boy of 14 on Snapchat to snare child sex abuse victims over the internet over a nine-month period. Clark used the false name Jamie Jones on the app to trick young girls - with one victim as young as ten. You can read more about the case here. A judge at Chester Crown Court today said he had no doubt his offending would have continued if he hadn't been stopped after the mother of one victim noticed Clark's messages and reported him to police. It was every parent's nightmare, he said. You can sign up for all the latest court stories here Police previously branded Clark a "sexual predator" with "warped sexual desires" after he admitted 26 offences against 26 victims at Chester Crown Court. He also pleaded guilty to three more offences of making indecent images of children. The judge His Honour Simon Berkson said the truth must have been a "terrible shock" for his victims. He classed Clark as a "dangerous" offender whose crimes had been sophisticated. He said he must serve up to two thirds of his eight years in custody before he would be eligible to apply for parole. Clark admitted one count of inciting a child under 13 to engage in penetrative sexual activity, two of inciting a child under 13 to engage in non-penetrative sexual activity and two counts of inciting a child under 16 to engage in non-penetrative sexual activity. He also admitted 21 counts of engaging in sexual communication with a child under 16, making 26 indecent images of children of Category A, making 29 indecent images of children of Category B and making 81 indecent images of children of Category C.
