Raising money for The Fire Fighters Charity

Charity Registration No. 1093387

Every 30 seconds in the UK fire fighters are called to an incident, risking their lives to save others, but sadly they often sustain physical injuries whilst carrying out their duties. The Fire Fighters Charity is here for fire fighters during their times of need. The Charity offers vital support services across the UK for all fire fighters, assisting in excess of 17,500 individuals every year. Our modern, dynamic and award-winning charity has three UK centres, located in Cumbria, Devon and West Sussex, which provide therapy, rehabilitation and recuperation facilities. Our pioneering Beneficiary Support Services offers local and remote assistance to fire service personnel in need nationwide – providing solutions to real life problems. It costs over £9 million every year to keep the Charity running, and with no government funding, we are completely reliant upon donations and fundraising, so your support is very much needed.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am an ex Firefighter from Stratford Upon Avon. I was part of a retained crew with John Averis and Ian Ried and attended the warehouse fire in which they were tragically killed along with Ashley Stephens and Darren Yates-Badley from near-by Alcester. It is this incident and all the support the crew and families have received from the Fire Fighters Charity that has inspired me to try to give something back.

I am now living in Newquay, Cornwall. I am studying for a degree in Outdoor Education. This involves instructor training in sports such as Climbing, Windsurfing, Sailing, Kayaking and Hiking. On 21st May, 2009 I will be heading up to Scotland along with 7 others from my course to complete the "Three Peaks Challenge". This starts at the base of Ben Nevis and involves scaling 3 mountains (Ben Nevis, Scarfel, Snowdon) in 24 hours. We will stay overnight in a hostel in Scotland before setting off in the morning. After ascending Ben Nevis, we will travel to Scarfel in the Lake District. After returning from this peak, we will move on to Snowdonia, Wales where we will tackle Mt Snowdon.

All the above will take place within 24 hours and I'm hoping the scale of the challenge will help me to raise a sizable amount of money and publicity for the charity.

Any size donation is greatly appreciated, please see column to the left for more details on the work this great organisation is involved in. Having witnessed their support first hand I can say with some confidence their cause is a very worthy one.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Fire Fighters Charity gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!

Many Thanks,

Ashley Skett
