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!

❤️ We've launched free heart health checks!

We're a Lincolnshire charity whose trained volunteers respond to 999 medical emergencies across the county, often arriving before an ambulance. But, we don’t just want to be there when an emergency happens. We want to help prevent one where we can.

That’s why we’ve launched free heart health checks in communities across Lincolnshire, including a free blood pressure check, to help people better understand their heart health and identify potential risk factors early.

Fewer than 1 in 10 people in the UK survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, so prevention, early recognition and looking after your heart health really matter.

Thank you to everyone that attended our pop up in Caistor.

Keep an eye on our channels for more heart health check locations across Lincolnshire.
