Sustainable Wells activities taking place in next month
Councillor Georgie Robbins has started to deliver bleed kits around Wells that are being funded by Wells City Council. She is pictured handing the first to representatives of Wells Fire Station. Another kit was given to the Kids Stuff Wells Toy Shop in Queen Street, and there is now one outside the Town Hall with the defibrillator. Cllr Robbins will be distributing more around the city, and hopes that other businesses will follow suit and purchase one to add to their existing first aid kits. The initiative is part of a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of knife crime and to provide Pennys Group half page ad.qxp_Layout 1 14/02/2024 15:40 Page 1 emergency first aid for people who are bleeding significantly.
