FAQ

We are funded by donations from the general public and our loyal corporate partners. Without them, RAPAID would not exist.

We speak and work closely with local authorities, the Police, heads of schools and other safeguarding agencies to identify and donate Rapaid lifesaving bandages into areas primarily affected by high levels of violent knife crime. However, the public areas and work environments in which we all exist are on our list. A serious accident or major terrorist incident could happen anywhere at any time.

Each bandage bag contains 4x lifesaving Emergency pressure bar bandages. Designed and used by the military and emergency services worldwide to treat life-threatening haemorrhaging. These bandages are designed to apply direct pressure to an injury and to save lives!

Each bandage has an 8-year shelf life. There are 4 sets of surgical gloves a rigid instruction card with clear easy to understand pictures and instructions. The bags also come with a window sticker so participating organisations can clearly identify bystanders and those first on scene that emergency bandages are kept within the premises or vehicles.
