Wearpeace is an exciting project as part of ‘Guns into Goods’, by the University of Salford in partnership with CARISMA and Greater Manchester Police and involving several schools and colleges. The aim is to create a range of clothing and accessories under the Wearpeace label that can be sold locally, nationally and internationally to promote the “save a life not take a life’ message. It is envisaged that all the clothes and accessories will contain a small quantity of decommissioned gun metal or metal from an unused bullet – as designer tags or fashion details, to reinforce the message of every garment purchased will help to take another gun out of circulation.

A Wearpeace display was featured at the 2010 OSBAs and plans are being formed for an official launch later this year. Any further news will be announced here. Meanwhile take a look at the excellent Wearpeace blog.
