Supporting People Through Partnership
We work alongside carefully chosen partners who like us, understand that people don’t learn from policies alone. They learn from stories, shared experience and understanding the real impact of decisions. By raising awareness early and sharing knowledge openly, we work towards one aim: Protection Through Prevention.
Lincolnshire’s Voluntary Emergency Service
LIVES provides immediate, life-saving emergency care across Lincolnshire, often arriving at incidents before an ambulance. Their volunteers deliver critical first response when minutes matter most.
We work with LIVES because their work represents the sharpest end of prevention; when awareness, training and fast action directly save lives. By supporting LIVES with training space and visibility, we help extend that knowledge and capability into workplaces and communities, reinforcing the importance of early intervention and preparedness.

Lindsey Lodge Hospice provides specialist care and support to people living with life-limiting illnesses, as well as their families and carers. Through its Business Club, the hospice brings local organisations together to support its work and strengthen community responsibility.
We are part of the Lindsey Lodge Hospice Business Club because care, dignity and compassion matter at every stage of life. Supporting the hospice reflects our wider commitment to people, recognising that responsibility to others extends beyond the workplace and into the communities we operate within.
