Voluntary response

Community First Responders

For over 25 years, LIVES Community First Responders have been at the frontline of emergency care, volunteering their own time and using their own cars—without blue lights—to respond to medical emergencies, all funded entirely by donations. In 2024 alone, they attended 2,230 patients, were first on scene 70.8% of the time, and in just one month of 2025 delivered 3,984 hours of lifesaving response. These dedicated volunteers provide rapid medical assistance and vital reassurance, saving countless lives and making a real, lasting difference to the health and safety of our communities.

Patient Stories

Keith’s Story

“LIVES got there first. And that’s very reassuring. You see a smiley face come out of the truck and you think—yes. High as hope.”

Keith is a full-time farmer. On Good Friday, around 3:00pm, he was out doing jobs when he suddenly found himself unable to move. Pinned in a ditch, by a forklift.

Keith was injured and trapped, with no one around. Waiting two hours for help simply wasn’t an option. Thankfully, a LIVES volunteer was already on the way.

Watch now.

“At LIVES’ core, it’s just one neighbour helping another.”

Nikki, Community First Responder
