25 Years Matter - LIVES.

A campaign to say thank you to our responders.

 

#25YearsMatter is our main campaign running throughout 2024 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our Community First Responder initiative! We’re incredibly lucky to have a dedicated network of CFRs across Lincolnshire who dedicate their time to making the county a safer place to live. All of our CFRs are volunteers and they use their own time to respond to 999 calls – and are on scene first 85% of the time. We welcome you to take your time and get to know a selection of our CFRs.

Nikki Wells, is one of our longest-standing Community First Responders who has been with us since 2001.

“I can’t believe we’ve had 25 years of community responding in Lincolnshire. The role has developed so much over that time, but still, at its core, it’s just one neighbour helping another. The time has flown by. I can’t wait to see what the next few years bring.”
