XLP is also calling on churches to play their part in tackling the problem.
Knife crime is fresh in the mind of the charity after one of its young people, Mohammad 'Moe' Dura-Ray, was stabbed to death in September.
It reflects a significant increase in knife crime over the last year in Britain. In London alone, nearly 1,700 people under the age of 25 were injured due to knife crime last year.
In 2015, there has been an 18% rise in stabbings and deaths in the capital.
Tackling Britain's Knife Crime is to be hosted by ITV newsreader Nina Hossain, with key figures from policing, trauma surgery, politics and youth work participating, as well as young people and parents.
Speaking before the event, XLP's founder and CEO Patrick Regan OBE told Premier: "I've been doing this 20 years and I have worked with so many mums now, whose kids have been murdered, and we've got to do better and we've got to start thinking more long-term.
"We will not arrest our way out of this situation. We have to be cleverer than that.
"Build relationships with your local school. Find out kids who are on the verge of exclusion that need extra support, and build relationship the way that Jesus often did.
"As you build those relationships I find that we change in the process as well as the young people that we're dealing with.
"If you realise that you're made in the image of God and that you're loved and cared for, then you start valuing yourself more and you start valuing other people more.
"Faith groups and particularly the Church has a massive role to play. If we looked outward and understood our community we could really see something shift."
Ben Lindsay, a pastor at Emmanuel Church London in Greenwich, has been working with local and central government to tackle youth and gang violence for 15 years.
He told Premier's News Hour: "Partnership is really key. I think you need to have people who have been impacted by knife crime and gang crime working very closely with the local authority and central government.
"I think you need to be in a position those who are in the most oppressed situations have a voice and that voice is taken seriously.
"That voice needs to be able to be heard at your local MP level, it needs to be going to the crime reduction units, it needs to be heard by those decision-makers who then can put a strategy together.
"Early intervention - are we getting at primary schools? Are we putting prevention things in place for those young people who are already involved? Are we providing job opportunities for those who want to escape?"
Tackling Britain's Knife Crime takes place at XLP's base in the City of London on Monday night at 6:30pm.
