Uppies and Downies is a 300-year-old traditional game in Workington, Cumbria, and after returning for its 2022 event, members from its charity committee donated an incredible £8,000 to us – after making us its chosen cause. We know that times are particularly tough at the moment, but we wanted to share why donating makes such a huge difference to your colleagues’, or even your own, life in the future. Staff from 22 control rooms around the country ditched their usual uniform for dress down days and cake sales in aid of us. A firefighter has created an incredible sculpture of a hen, designed to look like Queen legend Brian May, which will be available soon - with all funds to come to our Charity. From firefighters running dressed as dinosaurs, to cycle rides, mountain climbs, Car Washes and Open Days, you've been incredibly busy this month.
