This year we’re celebrating 80 years of our Charity – that’s eight decades of life-changing support, incredible fundraising activities and hugely generous donations from you – our loyal supporters.

From supporting the bereaved families of WWII firefighters, to providing online support to thousands of members of the UK’s fire family today, we’ve come a long way since 1943.

You’ve been with us throughout that time. So, we want to celebrate and thank all of you for your loyal support over the last eight decades with a series of fundraisers, corporate events and celebrations, and we’re asking for your help to make it a year to remember.

From this month, we will be sharing the achievements, memories, photos, special moments and recollections of our beneficiaries and supporters. So, if you’ve been supported by us, fundraised or have any kind of special memory, we’d love to hear from you.

You can send your standout memories, photos and thoughts to marketing@firefighterscharity.org.uk and we will add them to a UK-wide collection over the course of the year. Also, keep an eye out on our website, social media platforms and newsletters for lots of exciting anniversary activities throughout the year.

Keep up with all our celebrations and find out how you can organise your own event here:
