Leigh’s story
Leigh Forster has turned to us throughout his long journey with cancer – not just for support with his physical health, but also for help with his mental wellbeing – both online and at our centres.
Stories
Everyone needs support sometimes. Hear from some of the people Fire Fighters Charity has helped to move forward with positive change, personal achievement, progress and transformation in their health and wellbeing.
Sam’s story
London Fire Brigade firefighter Sam Hayward knows first-hand how important it is to ask for help – and just how life-changing that support can be.
Ruari story
Ruari Scates has bravely shared how he reached out for support after “hitting rock bottom” – in the hopes he’ll inspire others to seek help earlier than he did, so they never get to that point.
Sue’s story
Sue Park has shared some of her memories of her beloved Uncle Pete and Aunt Betty, both of whom enjoyed long careers in the fire service and supported us throughout.
Gerry’s story
Our Welfare Team was able to support retired firefighter Gerry Wallbank at an incredibly challenging time, allowing him to regain vital independence for the first time in months.
