The big picture: The event supports the Be Lucky Anti-Crime Foundation's mission to install bleed kits across Ipswich, which can be crucial in treating victims of incidents like stabbings.
The Be Lucky Anti-Crime Foundation has already installed more than 40 bleed kits around Ipswich and Felixstowe.
Why it matters: Bleed kits can mean the difference between life and death in emergencies, allowing first responders to act swiftly and effectively.
Key details:
Date: Sunday, 15 September
Time: 11:00-15:00
Location: Princes Street fire and police station, Ipswich
Highlights: Search and rescue challenges, firehose demonstrations, photo opportunities in police and fire vehicles, face painting and a raffle
What they're saying: "This event represents a wonderful opportunity for us to unite with the community and raise vital funds for an emergency bleed control kit, which has the potential to save lives in critical situations," said Paul Stansby, co-founder of the Be Lucky Anti-Crime Foundation.
Background: Stansby and Jamie Hart of the Lucky 13 tattoo studio set up the foundation in memory of Stansby's brother, who was fatally stabbed near Ipswich railway station in 2017.
The bottom line: "We believe that by coming together, we can create a safer environment for everyone and empower our local heroes in emergency response," Stansby added.
Funds raised will also support the Firefighters Charity, which aids firefighters and their families in times of need.
