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

On June 23^rd 2008, Firefighter Steve Morris was seriously injured whilst attempting to rescue a family from a house fire in the Great Lever area ofBolton, Greater Manchester.

Steve suffered 50% burns to his body, full thickness in some areas and his hands were very badly burnt. He is still in hospital and at time of writing has already had 15 operations, some involving the removal of his badly damaged fingers and thumbs.

The support that Steve has received from his family, friends and colleagues has been fantastic but Steve will need much more support for many years to come.

The Firefighters Charity will provide that support.

As members of the Borough Management Team in which Steve serves we felt it was time for us to lead from the front and commit to taking part in the Great Wall of China Charity Trek 2009.

Your donation will ultimately help to provide a true hero with the support he so rightly deserves.

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.

Many thanks
