The days are getting longer, the sun is shining – and you’ve taken every opportunity to get outdoors and fundraise for us. So, a huge thank you to all of you for supporting your charity.
From ultra-marathons to sporting matches and Car Washes, we’ve seen some fantastic events taking place throughout May, right across the UK.
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!
