Help us on our urgent mission to fund new kit bags and essential equipment for our Community First Responders. These dedicated volunteers are often the first on the scene in critical medical situations, providing life-saving care when every second counts. As a Lincolnshire charity we can’t do it without you. Your support will ensure they have the necessary tools to continue their vital work, making a significant impact in our community.
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.
Reaching 80 years old is an impressive milestone itself, but Bett Gresham from Coleby took to the skies on 1st May with a 15,000-foot skydive (the highest in Europe) to celebrate hers! 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.
Thanks to her efforts, Bett raised an impressive £3,188 to support the invaluable life-saving work of LIVES.
#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.

A commitment to saving life, whatever it takes. That’s what unites all our Emergency Responders. Whether they’re providing rapid first response support on their doorstep, or highly specialised medical interventions around the clock and across the county. It’s what they do. This isn’t a job. This is a life choice, that all LIVES’ volunteers share. Take a look at some of the roles they take on.
