Combating Knife Crime for a Safer Future

Why Owen's World?

Owen was a well-loved face in the Penhill community in Swindon.  He was adored by everyone. He thrived in the company of loved ones, friends, and his beloved dog, Jazz.  Owen always brought grins to people's faces and was known for being dependable, friendly, and easygoing. Growing up, he was all about laughter, mischief, and loads of good times with his group of friends.

In December 2022, tragedy struck when Owen fell victim to a fatal stabbing in Swindon's Haydon End area, hitting the community hard.  In response, his family and closest friends came together and launched Owen's World.

In the face of tough times, there's a chance for positive change. Owen's memory lives on through the unwavering efforts of the Owen's World team. Together, they're set on making their community safer and tackling the issues young people face today, like knife crime. They're all about spreading awareness, lending a hand, and inspiring others to get involved in building a brighter, safer future for everyone.

When an emergency occurs, blood loss is a grave concern. Being able to control the blood loss before the paramedics are on the scene could be the difference between life and death.  Turtle Engineering make a range of bleed control kits and trauma kits to equip individuals who are the first on the scene with the vital tools they need to help control blood loss.

Those first on the scene are unlikely to be medically trained. This is why the bleed control kits are easy to use to stop or control blood loss and prevent a person from bleeding out. When it comes to blood loss, time is paramount. A person can die from blood loss in as little as three to five minutes. Having an emergency bleed control kit on the scene can help provide immediate care to the injured individual. This quick access to products that can slow and stop bleeding could provide potentially life-saving treatment before the emergency services arrive.
