Bleed kits are to be installed in six locations around Guildford, Surrey.
The kits contain first aid equipment, such as tourniquets and gauze, which could save the life of a stabbing victim.
The town's pubs have come together to raise funds to buy the kits.
It follows a similar project which has seen kits installed in locations across Sussex, including Hastings and Crawley.
Jane Lyons, chair of Guildford Pubwatch, said: "The kits are there for any catastrophic bleed, so it's not just about stabbing. "If there's any possibility that it saves a life, that's the end result that everybody wants."
The project was inspired by the death of teenager Charlie Cosser from Milford, who died after being stabbed at a party in Warnham, West Sussex in July 2023.
His father Martin founded the charity Charlie's Promise, which raises awareness of knife crime.
Mr Cossser said:"A person can bleed out and die in three to five minutes. "Around 40% of people suffering external catastrophic blood loss will die, so what Guildford Pubwatch is doing is incredible."
