	<link>https://www.gracemary.co.uk/news/?pid=25&amp;nid=1&amp;storyid=11</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p id="_TCs5HfmnhJzaik">We have kindly been offered a Bleed Kit from Fereday&#39;s First Response, who raise money for and distribute kits around the UK.</p>

<p id="_uc7eD6gSzHgpYU">Fereday&#39;s First Response is dedicated to help save lives by getting Bleed Control Kits into as many schools and local places as possible in the UK. As the average person can bleed out in as little as 5 minutes, it is crucial to have these kits close by whilst waiting for Ambulance Services. These kits cover ANY catastrophic bleed such as road traffic collisions, knife crime, falls, work/school place incident, gun wounds etc.</p>

<p id="_L4GbI8oqRL47E5">We are holding a Dress Down Day on <strong>Friday 18th September</strong> in order to raise much needed funds for more of these kits to be offered to schools around the UK.</p>

<p id="_mrnh6eHCqveXDq">If your child would like to Dress Down for the day (no crop tops, no crocs) please send in a minimum of &pound;1.00 cash to donate to this amazing cause.</p>

<p id="_bOIkDUBEw5poWb">Further information on Fereday&#39;s First Response can be found here - <a href="https://www.feredaysfirstresponse.org.uk/">Fereday&#39;s First Response</a></p>
