Plans to install life-saving bleed kits in every Sheffield school have been announced by a South-Yorkshire charity with funds being raised by a boxing match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuse Alternative Provision<\/a> is a Sheffield-based initiative which aims to educate young people who have been permanently excluded or are at risk of exclusion, about the dangers of knife crime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its pupils are participating in a charity boxing match in March, with all sponsorship proceeds going towards bleed kits to equip schools, starting with the 52 secondary schools across Sheffield. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Francesca Hanson, director of Fuse Alternative Provisions, said: \u201cFor schools and communities to be without potentially life-saving equipment such as a bleed kit means being unprepared for emergency situations where severe bleeding could lead to tragic loss of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn critical moments, having the right equipment can make the difference between life and death.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundraiser comes in light of the fatal stabbing of 15-year old Harvey Willgoose on February 3 at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplies in the kits include tourniquets which are a device used to control bleeding, bandages, gauze, chest seals, scissors, and other supplies such as a foil blanket, designed to stop life-threatening bleeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The medical resources can be used to treat stab wounds, identify the source of a bleed, pack wounds, prevent hypothermia and more. <\/p>\n\n\n
