The Fire Fighters Charity

The National Car Wash

Take part in the National Car Wash!Now firmly established on the Charity’s annual event calendar, the National Car Wash is the Charity's largest national fundraising event of the year, and involves fire stations throughout the UK washing the nation’s cars, in exchange for a donation. 

The event also gives fire fighters the unique opportunity to interact with a large cross-section of their community, and promote important Community Fire Safety initiatives.

Two National Car Washes are held each year, in March and September. The next National Car Wash, kindly sponsored by Autoglym, is being held on Saturday 2nd October 2010.

How much does the National Car Wash raise for the charity?
In 2008 the two National Car Washes raised over £340,000 which went directly towards helping beneficiaries, including injured fire fighters requiring therapy treatments. Even the ‘traditional’ British weather was unable to hamper fundraising efforts!
