Next of Kin is a unique and innovative organisation, providing a valuable lifesaving service to both its members and the Emergency services. Tracing family members can be a really difficult task in an emergency, but it's something we never think about - until it actually happens to a loved one or to you!! Did you know, on average 40,000* people a day are taken to A&E in the UK alone - that's a staggering 14 million people a year.

The Next of Kin service was created following the personal experience of our founder Lee Hemington, in which his mother was rushed to hospital in a coma and given just 48 hours to live. After 5 hours, Lee was finally tracked down and he was able to pass on vital information that saved his mother's life, although she spent months in hospital afterwards before making a full recovery. The police often have a difficult time trying to locate relatives in an emergency. This is because a credit card, driving licence, pension book etc. will only tell them who that person is - not how to contact their relatives. The Association of Chief Police Officers have agreed to support Next of Kin International and  recommend that all UK forces be made aware of the card.
