Jacqui Marwick, a Community Safety Advisor with Lancashire FRS, shares how we supported her and how it inspired an epic fundraiser in 2024. Merrick Josephs, who works in LFB’s Firefighter Development Team, attended our Reset Programme following a family bereavement. Kristi Burling visited Marine Court on our rehab programme after an injury meant she had to come off the run from her on-call role. Here, she shares how we helped her build her confidence again. Scottish firefighter Dan Cook visited Jubilee House, our centre in Penrith, earlier this year after injuring his leg – and says the support he received helped him get back on the run. Thomas Warner, who works as Service Improvement Manager with Bedfordshire FRS, shares his experience of attending our Reset Programme and how he’s adapted his lifestyle since.
