A charity football match will be played in memory of Peter Burr who sadly died suddenly last month.
Peter, who sadly died on September 1, was well known locally and was a popular painter and decorator.
The funds raised at the match, which will be played on November 4 at 7.15pm, will go to LIVES.
The match will take place at Lincoln Moorlands Railway FC on Newark Road. Entry is free but donations are welcomed.
There will also be a raffle to raise extra money for the charity.
LIVES is the Lincolnshire charity that supports 700+ trained volunteers who get to their neighbours fast to deliver vital care in those first critical moments of a medical emergency before handing over to the ambulance service.
Gary Burr, organiser and son of Peter, said: “Dad was a great man and was very popular in the local community.
“I wanted to organise a charity match because he loved and football, the match involves my friends that mostly played for Metheringham Wednesday and we will be playing a friends team Dynamo Varsity All Stars.”
Nikki Silver CEO of LIVES said: “We’re so humbled and honoured that Gary has chosen for LIVES to benefit from the football match being held in his father’s memory, so that we can be there for many more people.”
A just giving page has been created in memory of Peter, to donate, visit the website.

Amir Badiee lives in Loughborough and for the past seven years has been commuting to his job at the University of Lincoln, but over the last two years he believes the train service has got worse. When he complained back in March he said he didn’t receive any response, but he believes his recent concerns aired in The Lincolnite helped to prompt a positive outcome.
Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
