Lynne Baird established\u00a0The Daniel Baird<\/a>\u00a0Foundation<\/a>\u00a0in memory of her son Daniel Baird. He was just 26 years of age when he was fatally stabbed in Birmingham in July 2017, following a night out with friends, in an area where no bleed control kit or trauma pack was at hand to use. Lynne Baird believes that, had there been publicly accessible bleed-control equipment available, Daniel\u2019s life may not have been cut so short.

Initially launched in the West Midlands, the Foundation started by raising \u00a312,000, making Birmingham the first UK city to have bleed-control kits and specialist first-aid training implemented in pubs, schools, shops and other public venues.<\/p>\n Now installed across the West Midlands and in locations in Glasgow and London, the Prometheus Bleed Control Kit is designed to help control and stop severe bleeding.
