Our loyal and valued supporters have kicked off a new year with more amazing fundraising challenges and donations – and we couldn’t be prouder or more grateful.
From a gruelling army fitness test, to sponsored runs, a new and high-profile corporate supporter and some incredible recycling across the UK for our Bag it and Bank it campaign, we’ve seen so many supporters going the extra mile. Now we wanted to thank all of you, and wish anyone planning a challenge this year the best of luck!
Below are just a few highlights…
And don’t forget, you can share your amazing fundraising achievements, encourage others and share ideas on MyFFC. We have a series of dedicated groups you can join, from Fire Family Challenge and Challengers to Runners, riders, walkers and more!
This morning I completed my challenge, with over 30 seconds to spare! So far £1,145 raised to share between @MindCharity @PoppyLegion @firefighters999

How many climbs do you think we’ll manage?@FFC_ScotsandNE @ScottishFee_FFC pic.twitter.com/zMJkyFrk9b— Linlithgow Fire Station (@LinlithgowFire) January 15, 2022
