The Daniel Baird Foundation Bleed Control Kits
Presidents Mary Davies and Lynda Wright Presenting PC Lora Holdgate with a Bleed Control Kit
Daniel Baird was just 26 when he was fatally stabbed during a night out with friends in Birmingham. Daniel’s mother, Lynne, campaigned for a ‘Public Access Bleed Control Kit’ to provide emergency help for any major bleed trauma and one was developed by West Midlands Ambulance Service, leading consultants from the Trauma Network and the Daniel Baird Foundation. PC Lora Holdgate, Derbyshire Constabulary’s licensing officer in charge of kit distribution throughout Derbyshire, said: “In the event of an incident leading to a catastrophic bleed, every second is vital so these kits really could make all the difference to our communities.” The kit donated by the Inner Wheel Club of Buxton has been placed in the Queen’s Head, adding to those already in some Buxton pubs/clubs.

Buxton residents were very generous and a great many items were collected. So succesful was the morning that we shall repeat it later in the year. Who knows, maybe we won’t have hail storms then!

The sandwiches and cakes are all individually wrapped in paper bags, which is very handy as the runners are usually very muddy!
