Why the Daniel Baird Bleeding Control Kit Matters
In 2017, Daniel Baird tragically lost his life after a fatal stabbing in Birmingham. There was no bleed control kit available nearby to assist. In response, the Daniel Baird Foundation was created with one powerful mission: to make bleed kits as common as defibrillators in public spaces across the UK.
Today, these kits have already saved lives. Their placement in schools, transport hubs, stadiums, and high-risk venues has become a vital part of emergency preparedness; especially in areas where help may be delayed, or professional responders cannot immediately access a scene.

The Story Behind the Kit: The Daniel Baird Foundation
The foundation was launched in memory of Daniel Baird, who died at just 26 years old following a stabbing in Birmingham. In the critical moments after his injury, there was no emergency bleeding control equipment available.
Since then, the Daniel Baird Foundation has worked tirelessly to make bleed kits accessible across the country. Backed by medical experts and supported by communities nationwide, the foundation has helped shift the UK’s safety culture, proving that trauma response doesn’t have to be left to professionals alone.
Every kit purchased helps spread awareness and expand this life-saving mission.
