I aim to have Bleed kits located and installed in all busy public places. Bleed kits are designed to assist with catastrophic bleeding and could initially be the difference between life and death.
With Knife crime on the rise amongst our younger generation it is vital that others feel safe when going out with friends in and around the city. Having Bleed kits installed which could potentially save a life will make the public feel safer. The bleed kits will be linked to the ambulance service and in the event of being needed they will direct the caller to the nearest mobile kit or fixed unit and give them the combination code to unlock the unit. The items inside the kits are designed for catastrophic bleeding and the caller will be guided on how to use the equipment. It is important to have these kits fitted around different places so they are easily accessible when needed. We have already purchased 2 fixed units and 2 mobile units ready to be fitted and placed.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
With knife crime on the rise with our younger generation it is important that all young people feel safe. No one should feel isolated or threatened from youths. We aim to educate and prevent knife crime but unfortunately it still happens and too many young people are losing their life. Our youth today is our future tomorrow and we need to act now. The Bleed kits are designed for all types of catastrophic bleeding and can be used in road traffic accidents or any other serious accidents. By using the specially designed kits in emergency cases it will potentially give the patient vital care and attention in those first few minutes before the emergency services arrive which can potentially save their life.

VolunteerMy name is Tanya Brown and my son was killed in a knife attack in February 2019. My son Connor went out on a night out to celebrate a friends birthday and he never returned home. Connor was stabbed 5 times with a number of other injuries, one knife wound penetrating his heart. The city of Sunderland showed a outpouring of grief and supported me and my family through what became the darkest of years we have ever had to face.
In the aftermath of the trial we still had so many people supporting us as a family and we felt the need to give something back to a city that gave us so much when we needed it. We thought the best thing to give back would be to prevent another family going through the same heartache, and to ensure there children feel safe when out and about with friends.
We set up the Connor Brown Trust in September 2021 with aims to educate, prevent, and support families and young people. We have been to a wide variation of youth groups, sports clubs and football tornaments speaking to young people on the dangers of knife crime. We have began and educational programme in schools which will continue. We will be visiting schools everyweek speaking to children and young people from the ages of 11 -16. We aim to attend primary schools children in Ks 2 aged 9-11, and colleges of young people aged 16+.
We want to bring about positive change to children and young people, we want to ensure our children and young people feel safe at all times. We want to ensure the public feel safe and that all measures are taken in order to save a life when it comes to accidents or acts of violence. Anything can happen in the blink of an eye and lives can be lost and many others heartbroken.
