LIVES is a vital, community-based emergency medical charity dedicated to providing rapid, life-saving care when it matters most. Rooted in the communities it serves, LIVES responds to medical emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, serious injuries, and accidents, delivering immediate help at the critical early moments before hospital care is available.

Operating across Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, and North East Lincolnshire, LIVES ensures that people in both rural and urban areas receive fast, effective medical support wherever and whenever it is needed. At the heart of this service are our highly trained volunteer Community First Responders, who selflessly give their time to attend emergency calls in their own communities and nearby areas. Their rapid response not only provides essential medical intervention, but also calm reassurance to patients and families during moments of extreme distress.

Working alongside these volunteers, our commissioned medical teams deliver advanced pre-hospital care, bringing enhanced clinical skills and equipment directly to patients in need. Together, they form a seamless emergency response network focused on saving lives and improving patient outcomes.

In addition to emergency response, LIVES is committed to prevention and preparedness through the delivery of expert medical training. We equip individuals, workplaces, and organisations with the knowledge and practical skills needed to respond confidently in emergencies—empowering more people to act quickly, effectively, and decisively when lives are at risk.
