Bedfordshire Fire Stations raise over £10,000 for The Fire Fighters Charity

Fire stations across Bedfordshire are thrilled to announce that their annual Open Days have raised more than £10,000 for The Fire Fighters Charity. This remarkable total reflects the generosity and community spirit of the people of Bedfordshire, who turned out in force to support their local fire services.

The Fire Fighters Charity provides vital mental, physical, and social support services for fire and rescue staff, retired members, and their families. Whether it’s rehabilitation for injuries, tailored mental health programs, or family support services, the charity ensures that the heroes who protect our communities are looked after in their time of need.

Head of Response, Stuart Auger commented on the success of the fundraising:
"The support we’ve seen from the public at our Open Days has been truly inspiring. Raising over £10,000 for The Fire Fighters Charity demonstrates the strong bond between our fire service and the communities we serve. The funds will make a real difference, ensuring the continued support for our teams and their families when they need it most.”

The Open Days showcased fire safety demonstrations, equipment displays, and fun activities for all ages, giving the public a glimpse into the life of their local fire and rescue teams. The funds raised will directly contribute to programs that help firefighters, and their families recover, rebuild, and thrive.

Thank you to everyone who donated, attended, and helped make this possible.
