Thank you to Kirton Knit Knacks - who are raising for money for LIVES! 🧶

We are excited to announce that we are fundraising for LIVES

I’ve included a brief summary of what they do, and I know what costs are needed to provide kit & training too - I hope the community will support us.

For over 25 years, LIVES Community First Responders have been at the frontline of emergency care, volunteering their own time and using their own cars—without blue lights—to respond to medical emergencies, all funded entirely by donations. In 2024 alone, they attended 2,230 patients, were first on scene 70.8% of the time, and in just one month of 2025 delivered lifefesaving response.

These dedicated volunteers provide rapid medical assistance and vital reassurance, saving countless lives and making a real, lasting difference to the health and safety of our communities.

Today, we remember.

We pause to honour those who gave their lives in service, the brave men and women who stood for others in times of unimaginable challenge.

At LIVES, we’re inspired by that same spirit of courage and selflessness, the drive to protect, to help, and to care for others when they need it most.

As we remember them, we also reflect on the everyday heroes among us who continue to serve their communities today.

We will remember them. 🌺
