Stowmarket Lions organise and pay for bleed kits

Stowmarket Lions have once again stepped forward to support the safety and wellbeing of local residents by funding bleed control kits at key locations across Suffolk. Thanks to their generosity, new lifesaving kits have now been installed at Stowmarket, Bury St Edmunds, and Ipswich railway stations, as well as at the Regal Cinema in Stowmarket.

Bleed control kits are vital emergency resources designed to help the public respond quickly in the event of severe injuries, whether accidental or intentional. When used in the crucial minutes before emergency services arrive, these kits can significantly increase someone’s chances of survival.

By funding and placing these kits in busy public areas, Stowmarket Lions are helping ensure that lifesaving equipment is close at hand when it’s needed most. Railway stations and entertainment venues see thousands of people pass through every day, making them ideal locations for this kind of community protection.

This initiative reflects the Lions’ long‑standing commitment to supporting safety, health, and resilience across the region. Their work continues to make a meaningful difference, providing reassurance to residents and visitors alike.

Stowmarket Lions are part of Lions Clubs International – the world’s largest volunteer service organisation – and their members work tirelessly throughout the year to raise funds and support local causes.

The new bleed kits serve as a powerful reminder of how community groups can come together to make public spaces safer for everyone.
