McDonald's have now installed life-saving bleed kits in their restaurants across Northampton shire. The devices are now a fixture in McDonald's branches in Kettering , Sixfields, Corby , Daventry and The Drapery thanks to the help of local charity Off The Streets Northampton who are set on fighting knife crime and its consequences all around Northampton shire.
Glyn Pashley, who owns and operates Daventry, Kettering and Corby sites, said: “With the support of Off The Streets Northampton, I’m delighted that we are able to support our community with the bleed control kits. We felt it was important to install the kits in our restaurants to help people if the worst was to happen. I’m keen to raise awareness of the kits in the local community so that people have peace of mind that this valuable kit is close at hand.
Perry Akhtar, who owns and operates The Drapery and Sixfields sites, said: “I’d like to thank the team at Off The Streets for their support. We are delighted we’re able to support our local community and install a bleed control kit in two of our restaurants. In the event of an emergency, bleed kits will help save lives and the whole community has access to them.”
