About our charity : The Fire Fighters Charity The Fire Fighters Charity
Every 30 seconds in the UK, fire fighters are called to an incident, putting their lives on the line, and often sustaining physical injuries whilst carrying out their duties. The Fire Fighters Charity is here for fire fighters during their times of need, and assists over 11,000 individuals every year, by providing pioneering treatment and support services. Our modern, dynamic and award-winning charity has three UK centres, located in Cumbria, Devon and West Sussex, which offer varying combinations of therapy and recuperations services. Our pioneering new Beneficiary Support Service also offers local and remote assistance to people in need nationwide. It costs over £9 million every year to keep the Charity running, and with no government funding, we are completely reliant upon donations from the fire general public and fire community.
