Bleed Control Kits given out to licenced premises across Cheshire East
The items will help save lives.
Last updated 4th Jun 2026
Funding has been used by officers in Cheshire East to help supply life-saving bleed control kits across the area.
Around 45 kits are being rolled out to pubs and bars in towns including Crewe, Nantwich, and Congleton.
Staff have also been trained on how to use the kits.
Eastern Crime Prevention Officer Victoria Moulton said:
“Knife crime is a key priority and Cheshire Police has an excellent history of partnership working, so we are very grateful to have received this funding from the Safer Cheshire East Partnership. This distribution of emergency kits to pubs and licensed premises across the east could be the difference in saving someone’s life.
“With a serious haemorrhage, it’s a grim fact that you can bleed to death in under five minutes – time literally does save lives and the quicker treatment begins, the better your chances of survival.
“The implementation of these life-saving kits is a welcome addition to a range of initiatives that we already have in place across our town, designed to keep everyone who lives, works and visits our communities in Cheshire East safe.”
