Julie tragically lost her grandson Liam to a knife attack in Writtle, Essex, outside a pub on 31st January 2020, he was just 19 years old at the time. Julie has since campaigned against knife crime, raising awareness of the terrible impact on both victims and their families. She now raises money for the provision of life-saving bleed kit bags and Essex County Council is supporting her by funding the provision of 60 bleed kits, which are to be distributed across all 12 Essex districts. Julie also runs St Peter’s Hospital Café in Maldon.
