LIVES is a Lincolnshire charity providing life-saving emergency care when it matters most. Our volunteer Community First Responders give their time to answer 999 calls in their own communities, arriving first 85% of the time without blue lights or sirens, just dedication and skill. Alongside them, our commissioned medical teams operate across Lincolnshire, delivering advanced care where it’s needed. We also provide expert medical training, equipping individuals and organisations with the skills to save lives. We treat, we teach, we get there because every second counts. This is our LIVES.
For over 25 years, our dedicated volunteers have been at the forefront of emergency care—providing critical support when every second counts. In 2024 alone, they attended 2,230 patients, were first on scene 70.8% of the time, and delivered 3,984 hours of lifesaving response in just one month of 2025.
Our Community First Responders have saved countless lives, offering rapid medical assistance and vital reassurance. Their commitment continues to make a powerful difference in the health and safety of our communities.
We partner with organisations and businesses across Lincolnshire and beyond to deliver high-quality first aid and advanced medical training. Our courses cover a wide range of emergency scenarios—from treating everyday injuries to responding confidently in life-threatening situations, including medical emergencies and mental health crises.
Whether you’re new to first aid or looking to build on existing knowledge, we share the life-saving skills we’ve honed over years of frontline experience—empowering you and your team to act with confidence when it matters most.
