A community have come together to install a life-saving bleed kit at a busy shopping centre. The kit is being installed at the site of a non-fatal stabbing in a 'frenzied' attack last August in Middleton.

Bleed kits contain instructions on how to help should someone be bleeding heavily and includes equipment to help stem blood flow during the wait for paramedics to arrive.

He said: "I initially spoke to a local Middleton Independent councillor about the kit and the great work the Daniel Baird Foundation does in raising awareness of these life saving kits and how they can educate young people away from knife crime and the lives that they can save. They then pushed for one to be installed in Middleton and a company called Borg Locks helped us to get it onto the wall.
"It's the first to be installed in Middleton and Rochdale as a whole but I'm determined we can get many more out there. They are vitally important and have saved many lives across the
