Story

My husband has recently joined the Fire Service and so I have a personal appreciation for the physical effort and continued dedication to their jobs that all firefighters have, that they must have in order to continue to serve. 

I'm supporting The Fire Fighters Charity because, whilst I hope and pray that my husband and his colleagues stay safe and unharmed, it's reassuring to know the charity is there to support us families and injured firefighters should we not be so lucky.

Aside from physical injury, the scenes firefighters attend can be harrowing and that this can take it's toll on stress and mental health. The Charity provides support services to cope with these elements of the job and it's an honour to raise funds for this vital work, especially given that our firefighters put themselves in danger on a daily basis to keep us all safe.
