What an incredible effort from our South Holland district! 🚨

As part of their Oncallathon, our volunteer responders gave up their weekend to remain booked on and respond to 999 emergencies for an amazing 53 hours.

A huge thank you to every responder who took part and dedicated their time to helping people across the community. 💛

We’d also like to thank BYD UK Spalding for providing a BYD Sealion 5 and helping keep our responders on the road throughout the weekend. 🚗

Thank you to everyone who donated and supported the team along the way!

A huge thank you to everyone at Polypipe! 💛

Their staff raised an amazing £513.30 through football and rounders matches over the summer.

They’ve also sold raffle tickets and taken part in challenge events to support LIVES.

Your fantastic support helps keep our volunteer responders on the road across Lincolnshire.

Thank you so much, Polypipe!

🚴 We let Defib Dan out this morning! 💛

He was roadside cheering on the cyclists as The Tour Of Britain made its way right through Horncastle, home to our LIVES base!

It was brilliant to see so many people out supporting the riders and enjoying some incredible cycling right here on our doorstep.

We’re not sure Defib Dan quite has the legs for the peloton - but his cheering was first class! 😂💛

Thank you, Horncastle Masonic Centre!

An incredible £825 has been raised for LIVES through the centre’s annual whisky tasting night.

As a charity, we rely on the generosity of local people, groups and organisations to help our volunteers continue responding to 999 medical emergencies across Lincolnshire. Support like this helps ensure they can be there to provide vital care and reassurance when their communities need them most.

A huge thank you to everyone who organised the evening, attended and helped raise such a fantastic amount for LIVES - we’re incredibly grateful for your support! 💛

A HUGE thank you to everyone who got involved at the event at The Ship Inn Billinghay! Your support is keeping our volunteers on the road, responding to 999 medical emergencies across Lincolnshire - often getting there before the ambulance! 💛

❤️ £15,379 RAISED FOR LIVES & THE BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION ❤️

We actually did it🥹

After Saturday’s fundraiser raised an incredible £3,066, our total across all six fundraisers now stands at £15,379!

When we started doing these events, I don’t think we ever imagined we’d reach a number like this!!

But this is what happens when a community keeps showing up❤️

To every single person who came on Saturday, donated, bought raffle tickets, bid in the auction, baked, volunteered, donated prizes, shared our posts or supported us in any way -thank you!!

A huge thank you to all of the bands and singers who gave their time and created such an amazing atmosphere, to Richard Walsh for sorting the sound for us all day and to the whole team at The Ship Inn for their continued support, hard work and effort year after year🙏

We genuinely couldn’t do these events without you!

This means so much to our family and to two charities that will always hold such a special place in our hearts!

We said we wanted to push past £15,000…

WE DID IT❤️

Thank you, Billinghay🫶🏼

Bett has done it again! 🙌

In another incredible feat of fundraising, Bett took on the Infinity Bridge at Honister Slate Mine – Europe’s longest high-wire bridge, stretching 190 metres and suspended 1,000 feet above the valley floor.

She raised an amazing £2,120 for LIVES! 💛

Thank you for your incredible support, Bett, and a huge thank you to everyone in your community who got behind you. What an achievement!

💛 Boston Community Blood Pressure Check – New Date

We’re very sorry, but due to unforeseen circumstances, our community blood pressure session at the Len Medlock Centre in Boston has been rescheduled.

📅 New date: Monday 7 September 2026 - 13:30 - 16:30 - at the Len Medlock Centre

The good news is, that gives you even more time to spread the word, get your friends and family together and pop down to see the LIVES team for a free blood pressure check.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you in September! 💛
