Imps choose charities for 2025

Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance and LIVES have been voted as Lincoln City FC’s charity partners for 2025. 

Both charities will join the Lincoln City Foundation as the Imps' named charity partners for the year.  

Supporters put forward local charities for the football club to partner with for 2025 alongside Lincoln City Foundation. Sevens charities were nominated and over 1,600 votes cast with these the two charities with the highest number each. 

Throughout the year the club will help the Ambucopter and volunteer emergency first responder organisation with fundraising activities and events, designed to help raise the profile and support these charities receive.  

Activities will include matchday bucket collections, player appearances and special fundraising events.  

Nickki Cooke, chief executive of LIVES said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be chosen as one of Lincoln City's charities of the year for 2025. Our volunteer community first responders attended 2578 medical incidents in 2024, so it means so much to us that the Imps fans will help us continue our work through 2025. This partnership will make a huge difference and help us carry on providing life-saving care in local communities when minutes really matter. We’re excited to work alongside Lincoln City throughout the year to raise awareness and make a lasting impact together.”  

Karen Jobling, chief executive of Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance added: “In our 30th year, we went to our 30,000th mission, only made possible thanks to the generous support of our communities. This partnership with Lincoln City means we can keep our crews in the air and on the road, helping us to be by the side of even more patients in 2025. We’re really excited to connect with the staff, fans, and players at Lincoln City over the next 12 months and together I’m sure we can be successful on and off the pitch!” 

The club will continue to support other local charities throughout the season including through the monthly prize draw.
