Our Charities For 2025

The Ben Kinsella Trust

The Ben Kinsella Trust is a knife crime prevention charity founded in 2008 after 16-year-old Ben Kinsella was tragically stabbed to death on June 29, 2008.

The charity educates young people about the dangers of knife crime, helping them make positive choices to stay safe. They run workshops that take participants through the journey of both the victim and the offender, offering an immersive experience that highlights how choices and consequences are deeply connected.

Their mission is to change the narrative and challenge the misconception that carrying a knife provides protection. They actively campaign for action and justice for those affected by knife crime and have received numerous awards in recognition of their impact. By holding governments, businesses, and society accountable, they strive to ensure that everyone plays a role in tackling knife crime.

As a result of their efforts, 73% of young people who had considered carrying a knife pledged never to do so after attending their workshop. Every donation helps them continue educating young people and working towards their vision: that no family or community should have to suffer the loss of a loved one to knife crime

HeartSafe (Bleed Kits)

We are teaming up with HeartSafe and the Rotary Club to distribute bleed kits across the Midlands area.

Bleed kits are emergency medical kits designed to control severe bleeding from traumatic injuries before professional medical help arrives. Each kit includes clear instructions on how to respond based on the location and type of wound, as well as guidance on the most effective compression techniques to use.

Bleed kits can be strategically placed in locations where the risk of severe bleeding injuries is higher. This includes areas with a higher incidence of knife crime, such as high-crime zones and locations near schools. They are also valuable in places where self-harm incidents may occur, such as railway tracks, and on construction sites where workplace accidents are more likely.

We will be purchasing the bleed kits from HeartSafe, and the Dronfield Rotary Club will use their other Rotary Club connections to help us distribute them to the most suitable locations. Once a bleed kit is placed, the Rotary Club will take responsibility for maintaining it, ensuring it remains stocked by replacing any used supplies.
