NFRS recruits fundraiser for Fire Fighters Charity

Northumberland Fire and Rescue is raising money for Fire Fighters Charity

Charity Walk from Craster to Bamburgh · 30 March 2026

Fire Fighters Charity provides care and support to the UK’s fire family. It helps with any health and wellbeing challenges firefighters, control staff, and everyone working in – or retired from – the UK’s fire services, as well as their families, may face - during and after service

Story

On 30/03, Northumberland Fire & Rescue Service's latest cohort of wholetime trainee firefighters will be walking Craster to Bamburgh Castle. They'll take on this 13 mile challenge in full fire kit and breathing apparatus (which is nearly 30kg additional weight!) in order to raise money for The Firefighter's Charity.

The Firefighters Charity provides specialist mental, physical and social health support to UK fire service personnel, retirees and their families. Operating through centres, remote services and a 24/7 crisis line, it offers physiotherapy, counselling and recovery programmes, relying heavily on public fundraising to support the "fire family".

Completing this challenge in the last week of a grueling 12-week training course with be tough, but we reckon they're up to the job. If you'd like to support them, follow the link to donate.
