Two weeks ago I launched a go fund me page to raise money to blood control kits for the Wigan area. At the start of this mission we had none in the area, and after funding from the locals we now have 6 in operation around Wigan!
But it isn’t stopping there, I’m striving to get as many as possible into the centre of Wigan and surrounding areas.
The kits have a 4 year expiry date, they can be stored in shops or (if we can get the code) inside the defibrillator boxes , in some circumstances both of these bits of kit are needed together.
The kits help sustain life until help arrives. They are used to treat catastrophic bleeding weather it be from a stabbing/ gunshot/ car crash or a freak accident. A patient can bleed out within minutes from a bleed which is why these kits are soo important.
They are £110 each, require no maintenance or checking other than in the event they have been used.
Thank you and if you have any questions fire away :)

This is such a fabulous initiative in light of the increase if knife crime in recent weeks.
