Blood control Kits

What is being done by Lynne Baird MBE and the foundation is making a huge difference to us all.”

Lynne Baird’s life was ripped apart in the Summer of 2017, when her 26 year old-son Daniel was stabbed during a fight outside a Digbeth pub. He received no first aid at the scene and bled to death shortly after reaching hospital.

The tragedy was a catalyst for Lynne to create a foundation in her son’s name. The foundation pioneered ‘bleed control kits’ for use in public venues and supplies free training in their use. So far the kits have been installed across London and the West Midlands. And we now want them in the North.

Her determination to help not only communities but the police be better equipped and trained to prevent loss of life is a fitting tribute to her son. Given a knife or car crash victim can bleed to death in less time and ambulance takes to get to them, the kits are a true life-saver.”
