E.ON colleagues honour Byron's legacy by providing life saving equipment for the Nottingham community

Colleagues at E.ON's Trinity offices in Nottingham have come together to support the Anti-Knife Crime (Byron's Legacy) campaign, raising funds to help make potentially life-saving bleed control kits more accessible across the East Midlands.

This year's fundraising event, hosted by colleagues from E.ON's Heat business, brought teams together for a bake sale, raffle and donations in support of a cause that has become deeply personal to many across the business.

The campaign is inspired by the memory of Byron Griffin, the relative of Heat colleague Linda McIntosh, who tragically lost his life to knife crime in 2022. Since Byron's death, Linda and her colleagues have worked tirelessly to turn tragedy into positive action by supporting the Anti-Knife Crime (Byron's Legacy) campaign, helping fund publicly accessible bleed control kits that could one day save someone else's life.

Over the past three years, colleagues have organised annual fundraising events in Byron's memory, raising hundreds of pounds to support the campaign. Their latest fundraiser will help fund future installations across the region, building on the recent installation of a publicly accessible bleed control kit outside E.ON's Trinity building in Nottingham. Positioned outside the main entrance, the kit is available for anyone in the community to access in an emergency.

For E.ON, the project represents more than a fundraising success. Nottingham has been home to the company for decades, and Trinity sits at the heart of a city where E.ON has deep roots. By supporting initiatives that improve public safety, colleagues are helping give something back to the communities that have supported the business for generations.

Linda McIntosh said: "This campaign is about creating something positive from an unimaginable loss. Every fundraiser helps us honour Byron's memory while supporting a cause that could make a real difference in an emergency."

Every pound raised will help the Anti-Knife Crime (Byron's Legacy) campaign continue installing bleed control kits where they are needed most, helping create safer communities across the East Midlands.

The bleed control kit outside Trinity is a lasting tribute to Byron's memory, but it also represents something bigger: what can be achieved when colleagues come together to support their local community. It is a reminder that even in the face of tragedy, collective action can create a legacy that has the potential to save lives.
