Our Director of Beneficiary Services, Sharon Bailey, introduced the new programme at the start of the week, revealing how it’s aimed at empowering you – our fire services community – with the knowledge, skills, and confidence you need to make informed decisions, so that you can invest in your bones throughout your early career years, through your working life and into your later years.
