This is a call out to other community spaces and businesses in Portobello….have you heard about the John McNab Bleed Kit initiative launched by Lisa Petrie following the tragic death of her 22-year-old son, John McNab, who was fatally stabbed in Leith, Edinburgh?

We, at the Wash House have signed up to keep one of the medical packs to treat severe bleeding and are hosting a short session where Lisa will come along and demonstrate how to use it.

If you think it would be useful to have one of these potentially life saving kits on your premises then please comment below and we will contact you with more details.

Please share with anywhere in Porty you think this would be useful. Thanks!
