Responder stories
As 2024 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on an incredible year filled with milestones, achievements, and heartfelt community support. Here are just some of the highlights that made this year so special:
This year marked 25 years since our Community First Responder initiative began, a testament to the dedication of our volunteers who continue to save lives across Lincolnshire.
More people came forward to share their experiences with us, including Cindy, Jimmy, and Russ, whose stories remind us why we do what we do.
We launched our monthly newsletter to keep you informed and connected with everything happening at LIVES.
This year, LIVES Expert Training has equipped 1548 people, across all of our training courses, with essential life-saving skills, empowering individuals and professionals to make a real difference in emergencies. From first aid to advanced medical courses like FREC 3, FREC 4, and PHTLS, our training ensures that people are prepared to respond confidently when it matters most.
Delivered by active LIVES responders with hands-on experience, our courses not only provide practical skills but also inspire trainees to become life-savers in their own communities. Every person we train helps strengthen the safety and resilience of Lincolnshire and beyond.
We released our first-ever Christmas campaign, “No Night Is Silent,” featuring a powerful film that shone a spotlight on the vital work of our responders.
Our responders were dispatched to thousands of emergencies, ensuring no call went unanswered and no one faced a crisis alone. This year our responders were dispatched to 2578 emergencies, providing vital care and support in the moments that mattered most. Whether it was a life-threatening medical emergency, a traumatic accident, or someone in need of immediate assistance, our dedicated responders stepped up to ensure that no call went unanswered and no one faced a crisis alone. Their unwavering commitment and expertise have made a real difference to countless lives across Lincolnshire, and we couldn’t be prouder of the incredible impact they’ve had this year.
