Cash recovered from drug dealers will soon be given to charities across Merseyside.

Traditionally money confiscated from crooks has been put into Home Office funds, but judges at Liverpool Crown Court have now decided to send the cash directly to charities instead.

The first to benefit will be the Knifesavers campaign, an organisation which tries to save the lives of victims of knife crime.

Josh Callon trained in Liverpool and is now a junior doctor on an Intensive Care Unit at the Royal London Hospital and is a senior member of the KnifeSavers training team.
