As the festive season is now upon us, our Fire Fighters Charity supporters have been busy getting into the giving spirit with everything from ultra marathons to singing and even a 24-hour barberthon.
Scottish FRS held its annual Santa Dash with some incredible support on the day, while FRSs across the country have held events to bring communities together.
Don’t forget, you can share your amazing fundraising achievements, encourage others and share ideas on My Fire Fighters Charity. We have a series of dedicated groups you can join. Just register now and head to the ‘Groups’ tab at the top of the My Fire Fighters Charity homepage.
