Responder stories
A huge bloomin’ marvellous thank you to Taylors Bulbs and their wonderful team for the incredible success of this year’s charity bulb sale! The sale raised an impressive total of £10,301.44, with a generous portion of £3,433.81 going to support the lifesaving work of LIVES.
The annual sale wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of Clare, Ally, Sally, and Mandy, who managed every detail—from tending the tills to engaging with customers. Taylor’s Bulbs donate everything for the sale for free – ensuring charities in Lincolnshire receive as much as possible from the sale. Even Defib Dan made a special appearance, lending a hand at the checkout and picking up a few plant pots along the way!
LIVES team members also joined the event to personally thank Taylors Bulbs and everyone involved for their continued support. Through this partnership, Taylors’ charity bulb sale has helped LIVES grow our network of community first responders, ensuring we can provide critical aid and care across Lincolnshire.
The event serves as a wonderful reminder that together, we can cultivate hope and create a lasting impact on our community. Thank you to everyone who shopped, donated, and supported LIVES through this year’s sale. Here’s to many more blooming successes in the future!
Furthermore, the funds raised from Taylor’s Bulbs Charity Sale in 2023 were doubled through our Big Give Campaign, which allowed us to double the amount of impact Taylor’s Bulbs donation made. If you’re a community group or organisation looking to make double the difference this December then get in touch with fundraising@lives.org.uk. Watch the video below to learn more.
