On Wednesday 17 April, schools from across Sefton will be supporting the #kNOwKnifeCrime campaign in the form of a mini relay involving primary and secondary pupils from right across the borough.  84 Sefton schools will be teaming up with the #kNOwKnifeCrime campaign and London Marathon 2024 to raise awareness and support fundraising for bleed control kits and cabinets to be placed outside schools in Sefton.  Laura Hughes, part of the #kNOwKnifeCrime campaign, sadly lost her brother, Colin McGinty, to knife crime in 2001 and has worked tirelessly on this campaign ever since.  Laura has visited FHS on a number of occasions to help to educate our students on the wider impact of knife crime and talk about the KnifeSavers bleed control kits.  These bleed control kits can help provide support for the bleeding caused by knife injuries to make the difference for a victim to survive an attack. The kits were developed by the Major Trauma Centre at Aintree University Hospital.  Students participating in the relay will pass the ‘bleed control kit baton’ from one school to another in an event spanning right across the Sefton borough. If you would like more information on how to support the fundraising for bleeding control kits, please visit:
