The Zane Smart Foundation

 

On the 27th May 2022, we lost our boy, Zane Kyle Smart to the horrific event of knife crime.

 

Zane, 15 years old, was a kind soul with a big heart. He was a brother, son, grandson and nephew and was loved by so many.

 

Words cannot describe what this loss has done to our family. And with that, we feel words are just not enough.

 

Knife crime is at it’s all time high in the UK. Between 2020-2021 there were 41,000 incidents of knife crime reported. This number will continue to rise therefore, we need to support our communities and teach adults and children how to save the lives of others and provide the necessary equipment to save lives if a knife attack should happen.

 

Our mission is to stop this happening to anyone else’s child, family or loved one.

 

Our plan is to start The Zane Smart Foundation.

 

We want to educate, provide and supply training and bleed kits to local towns and communities. We want to teach others what catastrophic effects this has on the victim, the family’s and the NHS System. We want to educate our communities on how to use the kits and we hope and pray, this can save other lives.

 

We as a family, will never be able to see, feel, talk to Zane again but if we can save just one life, one poor child’s life and stop another family experiencing the devastating loss we will never overcome, we will do everything in our power.

 

We are asking to help you kickstart our foundation today with a donation of what ever you can.

 

With bleed kits costing up to £700, we are going to place these locally so they are always to hand.

 

We hope to spread our story through every community and reach as many people as we can.

 

Please would you kindly share our story and enable us to make a difference in your community.

 

Thank you
