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.
LFB firefighter Wayne Jackson has received our support in the past for both his physical and mental health, and more recently attended one of our Child and Family Weeks – which he says helped his autistic son hugely.
Watch Manager Caroline Saunderson attended one of our Kickstart Programmes after feeling like she was in a rut. She says having a focused week, just for her, was exactly what she needed to rejig her lifestyle.
Firefighter Hayley Chesterman had never used our services before her husband was left hospitalised with a blood infection – but she says seeing the support he’s had has made her feel “protected” in the years ahead.
Northern Ireland firefighter Keith Shields faced months off work when he was left dealing with long-term symptoms of Covid-19 – before being told he had three blocked arteries in his heart. He says our Hope Programme helped him deal with the mental toll it had on him.
Firefighter Erin Brown shares why it's so important to strengthen ties between local fire crews and their communities, to highlight the incredible work done by on-call staff.
