LLSAR Lincoln C2C2C

On 26th June, Stu McWilliam, Phil Welch, Jack O’Hern, Richard Limmer and Andy McRae, all volunteers with Lincolnshire Lowland Search & Rescue (Lincs LSAR) will take part in the Lincoln c2c2c 100 mile cycle ride to raise funds to help with the valuable work that Lincs LSAR do throughout the Greater Lincolnshire area. The route will take us from Nettleham, over the Lincolnshire Wolds to Saltfleet, and back to Nettleham. In addition, I will be taking on, along with my shift colleagues from Humber Gateway, the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge on 5th June, attempting to hike around 24 miles, with 5000ft of elevation in less than 12 hours. All monies raised will also be donated to Lincs LSAR.
As volunteers with the team, we have seen first hand what an impact this work can have on the community that we serve. If you can afford even the smallest amount, any donation/sponsorship will be greatly appreciated, and every donation, no matter how small will be put to good use.

What Do We Do?
 
Lincolnshire Lowland Search & Rescue are a non-profit organisation, relying entirely on our own fundraising. We receive no government funding or subsidies and are a registered charity. All of our members are unpaid volunteers who provide their services free of charge. 
 
LincsLSAR exists to search for vulnerable missing persons and to assist the emergency services in the event of a medical incident, a casualty search or natural disaster. We conduct searches in both urban and rural areas, in association with Lincolnshire and Humberside Police. The team have been deployed over 50 times since January 2024, throughout Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire, and have also been called out to assist neighbouring teams in Notts and Yorkshire. Search areas have ranged from the Humber in the North of the county, down to Sutton Bridge and Stamford in the South, and from the East Coast to the River Trent. Lowland Rescue has 35 teams nationwide, which provide an average of 800 operations a year and has over 1800 professionally qualified volunteers.
