Lynne Baird is deeply honoured to make the MBE Honours List for 2022, for her work promoting bleed control kits throughout the UK.

Bleed control kits were needed twice in Birmingham at the weekend after two men were stabbed in a nightclub, amid growing calls for the equipment to be rolled out nationwide.

Two men aged 30 and 23 were stabbed at a private party at Bambu nightclub in the city centre in the early hours of Saturday morning, and after receiving treatment at the scene thanks to equipment from a nearby bleed control kit they were taken to hospital before being discharged.

The kits were used by a police officer who attended the incident and were installed two months ago by the Daniel Baird Foundation, which has distributed hundreds of the kits across the country in a bid to stop more lives being lost to knife crime as well as delivering training courses.

"What is being done by Lynne and the foundation is making a huge difference to us all."

Lynne Baird's life was ripped apart in the Summer of 2017, when her 26 year old-son Dainel was stabbed during a fight outside a Digbeth pub. He recieved no first aid at the scene and bled to death shorly after reaching hospital.

The tragedy was a catalyst for Lynne to create a foundation in her son's name. The foundation pioneered 'bleed control kits' for use in public venues and supplies free training in their use. So far the kits have been installed across London and the West Midlands.

Her determination to help not only communities but the police be better equipped and trained to prevent loss of life is a fitting tribute to her son. Given a knife or car crash victim can bleed to death in less time and ambulance takes to get to them, the kits are a true life-saver."

Bleed Control Kits could save London stab victim's lives, says bereaved Croydon mum.

Catastrophic bleed control kits should be widely available in public spaces across London, according to a Croydon mum who lost her son to knife crime. Yemi Hughes' son Andre Aderemi, 19, was stabbed 26 times on August 16 2016 on Monks Hill Estate in Croydon.

His attackers were men who had once slept under his roof and been fed by his mother but had fallen out with Andre when he supported another friend against them.

Yemi said: "My son was stabbed to death 26 times and had a catastrophic bleed but I didn't know that until the trial."
