LIVES: The Home Of Life Saving In Lincolnshire
Community First Responders
25 Years. Community First Responders Matter.
#25YearsMatter is our main campaign running throughout 2024 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our Community First Responder initiative! For a quarter of a century, our dedicated responders have been at the forefront of providing critical care during medical emergencies, often arriving on the scene before anyone else.
Over the past 25 years, our Community First Responders have saved countless lives, offering immediate medical assistance and reassurance to those in need. Their unwavering commitment has made a profound impact on the health and safety of our community. As we mark this significant milestone, we aim to honour their dedication and ensure they have the resources needed to continue their vital work.

LIVES X Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue
We recently collaborated with Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue in an exercise that staged an RTC (road traffic collision) involving three cars, casualty actors and immersive prosthetic makeup. This short film demonstrates how training ensures our responders and crews are at the top of their game. As a Lincolnshire charity working to save lives – training like this is invaluable.

Bett, a huge supporter of LIVES undertook this daring feat to raise funds for LIVES, our Lincolnshire charity that’s incredibly close to her heart.

Patient stories
“LIVES is absolutely vital – you never know when you’re going to need their service.” – Russ
When our Community First Responders attend medical emergencies, they often don’t learn what happens to the patients afterward. That’s why, when people choose to share their stories with us, it offers a powerful and eye-opening glimpse into the real-life impact of our work. These stories remind us of the difference we make and inspire us to continue serving our communities with dedication and compassion.
