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.

My story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

5 parents from St Bernadette's RC Primary School and 7 firefighters from Heywood Fire Station are cycling the 150 mile Coast to Coast (c2c) to raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity and St. Bernadette's RC Primary School PTA.

The c2c which starts in the former coal mining and industrial lands of West Cumbria, travels through rugged terrain of the northern Lake District and heads into Keswick before passing through Penrith. It then starts a 10-mile climb up to Hartside and onto the challenging Northern Pennines - the roof of England. There it follows an undulating ride as the C2C passes through old lead mining villages, such as Nenthead and Rookhope, and down into the Durham Dales before reaching the North Sea at Sunderland.

75% of the money we raise will go to the Fire Fighters Charity and 25% to St. Bernadette's RC Primary School PTA.
