Thriving Relationships Survey

Have you worked in the fire service and been in a relationship? Have you ever been in a relationship with someone in the fire service? We want to hear from you!

Why take part?

  • Help us understand more about how fire service life impacts relationships
  • Shape the future of our support for everyone impacted by fire service life, past or present
  • Share your experiences in a confidential survey
  • Be entered into a prize draw for a self-catering holiday or one of three £50 Amazon vouchers*

We know that the unique pressures of fire service life can impact relationships with loved ones, and we often see the effects of these challenges firsthand. By anonymously sharing your experiences, positive or otherwise, you will help us to inform and shape wellbeing support services for couples across the fire family.
