Last night, we were delighted to receive a fantastic cheque for £2,000 from Boston Classic Car Club 🚗

Thanks to their incredible fundraising efforts throughout last year, they chose to support LIVES, and even better still, through our Big Give match funding campaign, their donation was doubled to £4,000!

That means £4,000 going directly towards supporting our charity!

To everyone at Boston Classic Car Club - thank you for your commitment, your fundraising and your support.

Your passion for classic cars is helping save lives 💛

🎬✨ We’re finalists in the National Smiley Charity Film Awards!

Our 2025 Christmas film, No Night Is Silent, has reached the finals of the Smiley Charity Film Awards, and we couldn’t be prouder.

No Night Is Silent is a powerful reminder that even on the quietest nights, LIVES volunteers are awake and ready to respond when someone needs them most.

What makes this even more special? The film was created entirely by volunteers and produced in-house, ensuring that every penny raised wasn’t spent paying back production costs, but went directly towards supporting our life-saving work. From filming to performance, our community came together to tell this story, including talented young singers from Mareham Le Fen Church of England Primary School.

Thank you to everyone who voted and supported us, this recognition belongs to you too. 💛

“This is an incredibly impressive system for supporting the people of Lincolnshire…allowing them to stay at home, as well as dealing with major emergencies.” — Sir Chris Whitty

Professor Sir Chris Whitty visits LIVES to explore rural emergency care

We were honoured to welcome Sir Chris Whitty, England’s Chief Medical Officer, to LIVES to see first-hand how our charity supports rural emergency care in Lincolnshire. During his visit, Sir Chris met with the team to learn more about the impact and challenges of delivering life-saving care across a county with long travel distances and dispersed communities.

From our Community First Responders to Critical Care Responders, to our unique Community Emergency Medicine Service, LIVES brings vital clinical skills and reassurance directly to patients — often before an ambulance arrives and helping many avoid unnecessary hospital admissions.

Thank you to Sir Chris for joining us and recognising the value of community-based emergency care. Learn more about the visit and our work 👉 https://www.lives.org.uk/chris-whitty-visits-lives-to-explore-rural-emergency-care/
