New Fundraising Partnership with LIVES Charity

Witham Group are proud to be supporting the LIVES charity in 2023. Working in partnership with them, our goal for next year is to spread awareness of LIVES and the work that they do and help raise as much money as possible. We want to help train local communities on what to do when faced with an incident in a remote workplace and as a minimum, raise £3500 to equip 2 local Emergency Responders with new life-saving Zoll AED Level 3 defibrillators.

We are delighted that LIVES will be one of our featured charities at the Witham Annual Fundraising Dinner for our employees and contacts of Witham Group in January and we will also be promoting our appeal this year to raise money for the two new defibrillators.

Life can change in a heartbeat. It can hang in the balance in the blink of an eye. It only takes one unpredictable event to start the clock ticking: A swerve in the road. A debilitating fall. A heart attack in the middle of the night.

These are the emergencies that have the power to turn lives upside down. They don’t care if it’s night or day. They don’t care if you’re alone. They don’t care if time is against you, but LIVES do.

LIVES are Lincolnshire’s Emergency Response charity. They attend to 999 medical emergencies across Lincolnshire and it’s borders, supporting the highly pressured NHS and ambulance service across the county.

They recruit, train and equip all of their Emergency Responders, ensuring that they have the very best skills and kit to ease pain and suffering, often saving the lives of the patients they see. From the Community First Responders who attend cardiac arrests, to Critical Care Doctors who perform life-saving surgery on the roadside, LIVES Emergency Responders attended 11,334 medical emergencies, alerted through 999 over the last year. The charity is remarkable with its ability to access remote areas of Lincolnshire they arrive first on scene over 84% of the time as they are based within local communities. This ability to be on scene so quickly, allows LIVES to be there for you and your loved ones on your very worst days.
