I appreciate any support via donations to my chosen charity of 'Firefighters Charity'. 

About the Charity: This is the UK's leading provider of services that enhance quality of life for serving and retired firefighters, fire personnel and their families. The charity vision is to make a positive difference by supporting people in the fire and rescue community when they are in need. Over the years, they have helped hundreds of thousands of individuals by providing world-class treatment and support services.


It costs over £9 million per year to keep the Charity running, and they are completely reliant upon donations and fundraising, so your support is very much needed.

The role of a firefighter is one of bravery, loyalty and devotion to public service. Just like firefighters, the charity are passionate about our work and the services they provide to the men and women who risk their lives to save ours.

The firefighters charity have three centres in Devon, Cumbria and West Sussex, which offer a range of support programmes including physical rehabilitation and recuperation to members of the fire and rescue community in times of need and the centre in Cumbria also offers nursing care.

To aid emotional recuperation, they additionally offer one or two week breaks designed to help those who have suffered injury, illness, stress or bereavement.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you for your support!
