In partnership with Lichfield District Community Safety Partnership, bleed kits have now been installed in all of the defibrillator cabinets that the Town Council maintain.

Unlike defibrillators, bleed kit locations are not registered on a national network, so to ensure that residents know they are available if needed, please help by sharing this post.

The kits are located inside the following defibrillator cabinets, and the code to open the cabinets can be obtained by calling 999 in an emergency:

– Methodist Church, Swan Island
– St Matthews Sports and Social Club
– Boney Hay Working Men’s Club
– St John’s Community Church
– Burntwood Rugby Club
– Red phone box, Ogley Hay Road
– Lariot Europe Ltd, Burntwood Business Park
– Morley Road Shopping Centre
– Grangemoor Working Men’s Club
– Burntwood Memorial Community Association
– Chasewater Innovation Centre, Staffordshire Country Parks
– Smalley Court, Henley Close
– Ryecroft Shops
– Cameron Homes, Chasetown High Street
– Burntwood Library also have a bleed kit in a bleed kit cabinet at the front of the building next to the defibrillator, funded by Friends of Burntwood Library.

Lichfield District Council’s Community Safety Partnership is encouraging local organisations, schools, and community groups to take part in Stop the Bleed training. If you’re interested in being trained or helping to deliver this vital programme, please contact community.safety@lichfielddc.gov.uk.
