Life Saving Bleed Kit Donated To Council
Published on Friday, 27th February 2026
Maldon District Council is the grateful recipient of a potentially life-saving bleed kit, generously donated by the Liam Taylor Legacy in collaboration with Maldon Building Services (MBS).
The Liam Taylor Legacy was founded by Julie Taylor in memory of her grandson, Liam, who tragically lost his life to knife crime in 2020. The organisation is dedicated to raising awareness about the devastating impact of knife crime and supports communities by fundraising for and distributing bleed kits. The kits are designed for rapid emergency response and can help save lives in critical situations.
Maldon Building Services (MBS) is currently delivering a range of civil works with Maldon District Council. As part of their commitment to supporting the community, and as part of the delivery framework, MBS has facilitated the donation of the bleed kit for the Council’s offices, ensuring this vital resource is readily available should the need arise.
The handover took place on Monday 23rd February with Julie Taylor from the Liam Taylor Legacy, alongside MBS Directors Ian Freshwater and Karen Williams, joining the Chairman of the Council, Cllr Kevin Lagan and Doug Wilkinson, Chief Executive.
The Chairman of Maldon District Council, Cllr Lagan, said “We are grateful to the Liam Taylor Legacy and Maldon Building Services for providing the Council with this bleed kit.
“Knife crime can have a devastating impact on our communities and our families. Having the bleed kit available within our offices means that we can quickly respond to an emergency situation should it arise, and potentially save a life.”
Julie Taylor, founder of the Liam Taylor Legacy, commented: “Our mission is to prevent further tragedies and support communities by providing the equipment and awareness that can make a real difference. We are grateful for the support of MBS and Maldon District Council, who are helping us to extend Liam’s legacy and keep our community safe.”
