Participants took part in the training as part of The Benjamin Foundation’s Watton SPACE Project.

The programme aims to empower young people to respond to catastrophic bleeding incidents, including those caused by knife crime.

Ellie, team lead for Watton Youth Group, said: "The training was a big success.

"It was great to see young people and representatives from local organisations alike coming along.

"The young people were very engaged, getting stuck in and feeling confident in what they learned."

The Joe Dix Foundation, which delivered the training, aims to raise awareness of child crime exploitation, serious youth violence and knife crime.

The training session ties into a broader collaboration between The Benjamin Foundation, The Joe Dix Foundation and Home Church Watton.

A spokesperson for The Joe Dix Foundation said: "We are proud to be able to teach young people and adults specific training on ‘how to stem a bleed’ and provide catastrophic bleed kits to the Watton area - both of which could help save a life."
