The mum of a murdered Sheffield school boy tells us she wants to get bleed kits in ‘every single secondary school in the city’.
One is getting donated to Hinde House Secondary School today – thanks to a campaign which’s being led by Caroline Willgoose.
She wants all secondary schools in South Yorkshire & North Derbyshire to have access to the potentially lifesaving equipment:
“We’re starting at Hinde House, and then we’re going on to other schools.
“We’re going to give 15 bleed kits out in this first stage and then next month we want to give a further 15 out.
“Once we’ve given those 30 bleed kits out, we want to progress into Rotherham.
“All schools should have bleed kits.
“We don’t know whether a bleed kit would’ve saved Harvey’s life, but they didn’t have one in his school, so we’ll never know – but I want bleed kits in every single school.
“We’ve got a Go Fund Me page which is funding these bleed kits that we’re giving out.
“It’s £103 for a bleed kit. They so save lives though.”
15-year-old Harvey Willgoose was stabbed to death by another pupil at All Saints Catholic High School in February this year.
Teenager Mohammed Umar Khan was sentenced to life in jail for Harvey’s murder last month.
He’ll serve a minimum of 16 years in custody before he can be considered for release by the Parole Board.
