Like many charities, Fire Fighters Charity has a subsidiary company – Fire Fighters Trading Ltd – that exists to generate funds on a commercial basis, with all profits raised supporting the work of the charity.
Charity Commission regulations allow charities to set up and operate subsidiary companies when all profits from those companies are donated to the charity, and as long as the money is used for its charitable purposes.
The work of Fire Fighters Trading Ltd includes:
Merchandise
Fire Fighters Trading Ltd runs and operates the merchandise shop that can be found on this website, as well as merchandise sales at the charity’s three centres.
Clothes Recycling
Fire Fighters Trading Ltd works in partnership with a number of clothes recycling companies across the UK to place recycling banks on fire station forecourts for the purpose of collecting donated clothing from the public.
Commercial Rehabilitation
Fire Fighters Trading Ltd works with organisations that require rehabilitation services, generating vital income for the charity through the commercial sale of these programmes. We allocate places on our rehabilitation pathways for commercial clients, helping to fund beneficiaries accessing the same support. While beneficiaries always remain the priority, this approach brings in essential income and strengthens relationships with like-minded organisations.
Holiday Rentals
Holiday breaks are available to book across all three of our centres, offering both beneficiaries and the general public the chance to enjoy a stay with a difference.
Venue Hire
Hire an impressive range of indoor or outdoor spaces and facilities at one of our three centres – including conference rooms, gyms and pools.
YEEP! Parcel Lockers
Through our partnership with LockerQuest, we are working with fire and rescue services and other organisations to place parcel lockers, which will generate additional income for the charity.
