Who We Are and What We Do...

Lincolnshire Community Assistance Team (L-CAT) is a group of volunteers from the local area.

The primary aim is to offer professional assistance to the emergency services in less than life threatening situations so that they can respond to higher priority assignments.

We also wish to provide help in adverse weather conditions such as delivering medication to the elderly, or those in end of life care in adverse weather. Flood protection and evacuation, missing person searches this all helps to alleviate the stress on the emergency services.

Responders are put through Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)...

 

We welcome all new members, medically minded or not, drivers or not, car owners or 4x4 owners. Everybody can have a role and assist their local community. The Group is covered by Public Liability Insurance.

With over a hundred members and growing ... we undergo strict training and briefing sessions.

Participants are matched to their role with equipment, instruction and guidelines.

Using modern communications we operate as a team and can call upon members all over the County to participate in incidents.
