The emergency first responders charity LIVES has had a boost from a councillor who has helped fund the purchase of three new suits – one for each LIVES responder in the district.
Coun Tracey Carter said: “I approached other councillors to see if they were also able to assist, of which a number of other councillors from across South Holland were as equally as keen to support them as I was, as LIVES obviously work helping people in all of our areas and do an amazing job of which we are all very grateful.”
Eight councillors supported the cause through their designated councillor budget, totalling £1,450.
Coun Carter said the new suits are all-weather garments, “which meant they could wear them in all weather, keeping them dry and warm while attending emergencies in the whole of South Holland”, she explained.
