As we welcome a new year, we’re delighted to share our latest and refreshed edition of Shout! Magazine with all of our supporters.
Packed full of health and wellbeing tips, fundraising ideas, news, updates and moving real-life stories, there’s a snapshot at everything we’ve been working on, and what’s coming up in the year ahead.
Our Chief Executive, Sherine Wheeler, introduces the edition with a personal message to all of our supporters and service users. In it, she says: “Your dedication lies at the heart of everything we achieve. Whether you’ve donated money, organised a fundraising event, recycled clothing, raised awareness of our services, or encouraged others to get involved, your support makes a lasting difference to each member of the fire family who turns to us in their time of need.
“Please accept my heartfelt thanks for all your kindness and generosity in 2024. We’ve been able to achieve a huge amount – with nearly 10,000 people benefitting from our services in the past year. Whether it’s rehabilitation, emotional and mental health, wellbeing or welfare support, nursing, recuperative breaks, transitioning into retirement or living well in older age, every one of our services has been made possible thanks to supporters like you.”
Elsewhere, we share a few ways we can help you and your loved ones to thrive in 2025, whether it’s through online and face-to-face programmes, volunteering, fundraising or simply starting a healthier routine.
And retired Watch Manager, Martin Aldred, shares how we’ve supported both his physical and mental health – and why taking the time to look after yourself, early, can pay dividends in the long run.
