Stourbridge care home donates life-saving equipment to school
A STOURBRIDGE care home has donated a potentially life-saving piece of equipment to a primary school.
Parkfield Grange care home gifted a bleed control kit to Netherbrook Primary School.
The kit, which contains equipment to stop severe bleeding, will be used in emergency situations.
Catherine Marshall, assistant head teacher at Netherbrook Primary School, said: "We were absolutely thrilled when a parent of two of our pupils, who works at Parkfield Grange Care Home, shared our fundraising plans with Emily Hocking, the home admissions advisor.
"Emily kindly reached out and generously donated a bleed control kit.
"We cannot thank Parkfield Grange enough for helping us access this vital emergency equipment that could one day save lives.
"This donation not only enhances the safety of our pupils and staff but also means we're better prepared to support our wider community in the event of an emergency."
Emily Hocking, home admissions advisor at Parkfield Grange, said: "We are part of a vibrant and caring community and when our colleague informed us of Netherbrook's plan to raise funds for a bleed control kit, we were delighted to donate one.
"Having such a kit in a community setting can save lives before paramedics arrive."
Parkfield Grange, which is located on the Hagley Road in Stourbridge, offers 68 large en-suite bedrooms and six one-bedroom care suites, all furnished.
The care suites include an en-suite bedroom, lounge, and kitchenette and although developed with couples in mind, are ideal for those looking for more space and privacy than a traditional care bedroom.
