Our proud history

Whilst sitting around a table one day, a group of Firefighters wanted to do something to support their colleagues and their families in times of need. Money was put into a biscuit tin to be given to those who needed support – this was the beginning of our organisation and firefighters helping firefighters. Thirty plus years on our ethos is the same, we are here to Support you and your family. Firefighters helping Firefighters and their families. Read more about our history here.

𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃
We would like to provide you with an update regarding our holiday/convalescent homes. As part of our Property Maintenance & Modernisation Programme, there are several items that we wish to bring to your attention:
➊ From 1 June towels will no longer be available in all holiday homes. Please remember to pack a towel.
➋ Also from 1 June, check-in times are changing from 1pm to 2pm. This is to give our caretakers time to check the property before new guests arrive. 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫, 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞.
